VB and Vegemite Sarnies for New Arrivals to Australia

With the news that the Brits are going to offer a cup a tea and a biscuit to new arrivals at Terminal 5, the Aussies are rushing to offer arriving passengers a tastier more wholesome welcome treat.

Sausage sarnies are also being considered.

Talking of spreads, how about Tim Tam Spread.

If I do come back to the wet, miserable and depressing land, I'll have my tea with milk and two sugars and a club biscuit. Thanks for the incentitve plan Debatable Land.

Not Even This Funny Ad Will Get Me To Drink VB

An Orchestra of VB (Very Bad) Beer Playing Musicians. Very Clever.

I just wonder how many people would change from drinking a good beer to a bad beer based upon a cute or clever advert. When I was in Singapore, VB was extensively promoted and I often drank it, not realising how bad it was. Not as bad as Fosters, which was extensively promoted in the UK as an All Aussie Beer during the 1980s. I was even more surprised that people accepted Budweiser in the UK and that it was on tap in bars with otherwise very good beers.

Oh the power of those marketing guys.
