British Biscuits
...made by Kraft? Reminds me of one of my favoritest songs:
When Biscuits Go Wrong
...I thought to run a biscuit shop
You had to be a biscuit purist
And that such a man could never run
a biscuit fraud on tourists.
And then O! Tragedy of Tragedies!
My tears came down in streams.
Coz what I thought were Mango Biscuits
Nothing more than custard creams.

Kraft makes marmite too...

I hate to ask this Kathy, but...I'm compelled. Have you tasted 'marmite'? I could never bring myself to ~ about as unappetizing a name as 'Miracle Whip'.

Oh, dear God ~ I'm FOR SURE not trying it now.
One contributor to the "I love Marmite" Web site has this suggestion: "Eat it on raw spaghetti. It's true! Dip raw spaghetti in Marmite and then eat; it tastes just like Twiglets."
...In some neighborhoods it is (apparently!) common for nursing mothers to dab a little on their nipples before feeding their infants.

(Research leads me to believe Unilever makes 'Marmite' and Kraft makes 'Vegamite'? All revolting names, of course.)

Isn't Kraft itself owned by RJ Reynolds, i.e EEEEVIL BIG TOBACCO?! Or was it spun off at some point?
