I dont think these will take off somehow.
Australians like vegemite - but everything has a time and place - the time is not dessert and the place is not the freezer
I know vegemite isnt in all countries - but if any of you want to try this with marmite or similar - recipe is there for you

I accidentally grabbed a single packet of what I thought was jam on a cruise and spread it on my toast, licked the leftover glob on my knife and nearly passed out from a sodium overload...WTH?!?!0

Ah yes - non Australians eating vegemite
They almost never like it and they almost always use too much.
A light smear is all you need, not a glob size.
and nobody eats it on its own - eg in a knife lick.
It has to be on toast, crumpets, sandwiches etc - but, back to my OP - not in frozen icy poles.0 -

Light smear? That doesn't cut it in my house. I spread it thick like tar.
Definitely not in icypoles though, although I'm sure a fancy chef could incorporate Vegemite sorbet/ice in to a dish successfully1 -

Made me laugh. We used to prefer marmite over vegemite since being kiwi and all... that was until the country ran out of marmite for months (seriously), so we hesitantly/reluctantly switched to vegemite. Now we can't stand marmite. You think vegemite is salty? Hahaha don't go near marmite then.0 -
I only eat marmite (English vegemite) if I need/crave salt, otherwise no. As for icepoles made from it, blech! Although thinking choc, cream and maybe caramel in the mix? I do enjoy the marmite flavoured crisps though, yum! They do choccie flavoured with marmite too over here. Hmmm...0

Cadbury did a LE Vegemite flavoured choc here. It wasn't terrible.0 -

When I was fasting I would crave it and ate a spoonful here n there.

Looking at the recipe....I’d try it if someone else could be bothered making it.0

You know what? I have a few jars of Marmite at home, I might just try that recipe. The only ingredient I'm missing is cream, but maybe I can replace that by more Marmite
E.t.a: The first time I ate Marmite I really hated it, since I also somehow thought it would be something like honey, molasses or Nutella. I just tried a spoonful from the jar - ick!
Since I didn't want to waste food, I tried finishing that jar (in really small steps of many thin layers on toast), and by the time it was empty, I liked it enough to buy another one0 -
... just found that the Marmite version already was created in reply to the Vegemite one:

I love vegemite. LOVE IT. I rather liked the chocolate with the vegemite centre, I'd be willing to stay open minded about the icy pole incarnation.
For those who haven't tried it, do yourself a favour: vegemite and cheese toasted sandwich. Perfection :-)0 -

I eat it out of the jar, on a spoon, when I have a hangover...1 -
Alatarial - hard core vegemite eater
I do like vegemite and cheese sandwiches - but not straight vegemite.2 -
That sounds gross! I like vegemite on toast with plenty of butter and a thin, very thin layer of vegemite. A small jar lasts me for months.
I've seen American shows where they slam vegemite, but they heap it on bread like you would peanut butter or Nutella No, no, no... I couldn't eat it like that either. With vegemite, less is definitely more.
As for Marmite, i would call that vegemite's poorer, unattractive cousin. Similar to the slogan "Pepsi, what you buy when they don't have coke".1
