iSnack 2.0...Cheesybite...WTF?!?!

Sat Oct 10, 2009, 10:18 AM
Somehow, when I heard that the American company Kraft was launching a bastardized version of Vegemite named "iSnack 2.0", I wasn't really surprised. I merely thought 'only an Yank...' (there was more, but for the sake of being politically correct...).

Seriously, which idiot thought that altering a hugely successful product from the 1920's and choosing a name like "iSnack 2.0" was a good idea? How does a name that incorporates references to the 'i' series of technology and internet linguo, seem like a good idea to have as the name of a food product? It doesn't even relate to the original product!

And now, after the universal negative reaction to this name, they're calling it 'Vegemite Cheesybite'...it's better, but not by much...

As I see in life, there are four types of people; *Optimists - 'The glass is half full...' *Pessimists - 'The glass is half empty...' *Opportunists - 'The glass will be empty when I'm finished with it...' *Realists - 'Either way, I'm stuck washing up...'
