iSnack 2.0

[WhyAlwaysMe]

I for one don't mind the taste of ....

Oh, you said pus

Maybe he meant .... with a yeast infection

 

[hamG]

Name is getting worse as each day ticks by.

I bet whoever decided on this name was also one of the people responsible for the financial crisis. Dumbness abounds.

 

[peternorth]

does anyone know anyone who likes the name? apparently the inventor has left the country to avoid scrutiny. would be hard on his mates too, they'd have to be diplomatic.

not if they're like my mates

Tastes like Crap is Crap, i like Beer but i dont say to myself........... $%!t you know what? This is great but if only someone would add some Cheese to it....... Same with Vegimite i like it the way it was always meant to be...........With enough Saltiness to make baby Jesus cry.

Absolutely. Vegemite has to have a kick to it. That is part of the delight in eating it. Disgusting product and name.

Got mine today, was disappointed.

It doesn't let you copy & paste the Vegemite onto the bread, and when you want to start a new slice you have to open up another page instead of just scrolling down to the next piece.

Brilliant !

So, when was iSnack 1.0 released? Or was that Vegemite?

What a stupid name.

I went to highschool with the guy who came up with the name.

I agree with how wrong it is and it shouldnt last. Shocking name !!

Consumer uproar over iSnack2.0 has forced Kraft to concede that its new Vegemite-cream cheese blend might have to be renamed.

May as well call it dick-cheese now

I saw thr title of this thread a few times but didnt bother clicking in because I thought it was a computer thing or a new application for the iPhone.

I just heard on the radio this is the new name for Vegemite (well...was). This thread was the first thing I thought of.

I can't convey my disgust in strong enough terms.

They going to change the name by a customer vote.

 

[midorigreenwood]

This was all an elaborate marketing stunt imo

Think back to the Cola wars..... Coke vs Pepsi

Pepsi was kicking arse in market share and forced Coke to try to reinvent themselves as "new coke"

consumers were pissed off!!!

Coke was forced to back track but something strange happened.... sales for old coke sky rocketed.

nostalgia for old coke led to it dominating sales again.

seriously..... noone in their right mind would have thought that isnack would have been a good name.....

they wanted to rock the boat, shock consumers into action and hopefully turn them back to the nostalgia of iconic vegemite.

I betcha the product will be renamed as something boring like cheesymite or vegemite cheesy

 

[footy_4_life]

Typical media stuff !!

The guy who came up with that "very bad" name has not gone anywhere. (yet)

Media has said that he has left the country but that is untrue. He leaves in 2 days and it has been a planned trip from 2 months ago.

it is good to hear they will change the name.

 

[dumb]

the facebook link to mr isnack is now broken? i tried looking him up anyway and no sign. seems he's had a few comments on it? bit unfair, dumb as it is he only submitted it, though he was happy enough to take credit when selected.

 

[Crosby87]

If only people voiced their opinions at lame marketing schemes en masse more often.

Waiting for iSnack 2.7 patch as its not compatible with my wholemeal bread...

 

[ManWithNoName]

I dropped a jar and it smashed. I just pushed Ctrl + Z and it repaired itself. Dead handy.

 

[Adrian Shelton]

Red Wine 3.8 is curing this, ahhhh!!!!!

 

[red+black]

not going down well at all

News has filtered through to Germany. Mein Fuhrer is not happy.

Do you guys not check that you posted the youtube links wrong?

You're even presented with a friendly link on How To: Embed a YouTube video.

 

[dumb]

i did wonder why he posted the same video as me...

----

mr isnack also said he believed in the name. i felt a bit sorry for him until i read that.

 

[sharkresearch]

Nice publicity stunt Kraft

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

The new candidates aren't very good either.

VEGEMITE CHEESYBITE
VEGEMITE CREAMYMATE
VEGEMITE SMOOTH
VEGEMITE SNACKMATE
VEGEMITE VEGEMATE
VEGEMITE VEGEMILD

Have to go with the 3rd one, I think.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Sticking with the modern technology theme, perhaps PalmMight or PreGemite?
