I’ll have iSnack 2.0 on toast please
Sound ridiculous? Well, it's not. That's what Kraft have named their new spread. "iSnack 2.0"! It's actually Vegemite with cream cheese. They came up with the product after the people asked for a spread which wouldn't require butter on the bread first. I've tasted it. It tastes like Vegemite and cheese and I'm not a Vegemite fan.
