When I was in the 5th grade, we had a unit in school on Australia.  It included learning about the basic government, geography and of course the animal life.  I made this sweet kangaroo:

Our teacher also brought in some Vegemite, which Australians consider to be food.  Fast-forward to this week, when I came across a video of young Americans reacting to eating Vegemite:

I sent this to my Australian friend Katie, who said she loved it, but that “those kids are wrong.”  I told her that my experience at that age was the same:

@cjhannas plz try it again and record it. I need to see how much you now love it.

She followed up her challenge with a helpful tutorial video on how exactly she eats it:

I’m not one to back down from a (reasonable) request.  Thankfully, this beautiful country of mine has seemingly everything for sale within a short drive, so it only took me two guesses to end up at a store with Vegemite:

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to Taco Bell.
