That's not Vegemite in the photograph. NOBODY LISTEN TO THIS WEBSITE its content-farm writers are writing about subjects they DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH.

Well for one thing you do NOT make a swimming pool of it on the toast. You do a light wispy coating.

Except the photo shows Bovril, even a Bovril jar. Vegemite is not as unctuous as that.

As hannahbelector said, dear god man CHANGE THAT COVER PHOTO. Unless you want people to buy the Vegemite and then chuck it out, that is NOT how you do it. Are you trying to hoard all the Vegemite for yourself? Bloody hell, mate

Good god! The food stylist for that photo needs to be forced to eat that toast. (Not that the product pictured is Vegemite, which isn't viscous enough to drip.) I need a glass of water just looking at that.
One does not pour Vegemite. One avoids spreading Vegemite. The correct, unappetising verb is 'scrape' (as I see you have yourself used in the piece; unfortunately the stylist didn't get properly briefed). The photo for your Marmite article is much more like it.
That said, you can get away with very thinly spreading Vegemite since Kraft bought the brand, as it has been significantly diluted and made thinner and easier to apply. When I was a kid a jar of Vegemite lasted forever because anything more than the merest hint of the stuff was caustic. It tore anything but the most sturdy bread; it shattered Saladas unless applied by an expert. When it was just right, it was delightful.

I had forgotten about those things! It was always a ninja move to get your vegie on the salada without breakage!

This Australian is shocked by your cover pic! Why is the vegemite dripping down the toast in your pic? Don't water it down, just spread that baby straight from the jar.
And pop some avo on top. Delish. (Srsly do not make it watery and put it on toast).
