The story of Vegemite began in 1922 with the Fred Walker Company.
The company hired a chemist called Dr Cyril P. Callister to develop a spread with lots of Vitamin B. The Fred Walker Company launched a national competition as a clever way to market their new product, whereby the public would name the product. In 1923, the product was officially named Vegemite and soon jars were being sold all over the country.

At the same time, there was a similar product named ‘Marmite’ being sold in England. Shoppers didn’t want to try something different and Vegemite sales dropped. The company renamed Vegemite to ‘Parwill’ and paired it with a clever catchphrase “If Marmite….then Parwill”! However, sales did not improve.

I took 14 years and a change back to the original name before the people in Australia embraced the product again. Doctors even began recommending it, and during the Second World War, the armed forces sent it to the soldiers. It became that popular that the company wasn’t able to keep up with the public demands.

The company then created the song ‘Happy Little Vegemites’, which was released on the radio in 1954 and on television in 1956. Even today, the song is easily recognised, with Vegemite putting ‘a rose in every cheek’.
