It’s not a hoax. It’s not a spoof. Cadbury’s Vegemite-flavoured chocolate is really happening. On June 1, Australians will find out whether their favourite yeast spread works as a sugary dessert. To commemorate this bold taste combination, we’ve assembled our favourite Vegemite hacks from the Lifehacker archives. Enjoy.
Cadbury isn’t the first company to hack Vegemite in weird and wonderful ways.

(Naturally, we’ll be giving it the full taste-test treatment in the weeks to come. May God have mercy on our souls.)

> Thin coat of vegemite
> Scrambled or poached egg on top

Vegemite on fruit loaf is my favourite.
Vegemite on canned chicken was OK.
Vegemite on kimchi was…. Not too bad.
Peanut butter and vegemite sandwiches for the win
