Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus is a Huge Fan of Vegemite

With two Australian tours in the next three months, it is a good thing Brendan B. Brown of Wheatus loves Vegemite.

“I used to be a Promite guy but I’m off it now,” Brendan tells Noise11.com. “Too much sugar. My friends Riggs and Tom from down there sent me a customised BBB Vegemite jar. I just cracked it the other night. It has been a nightly toast thing. A lot of butter and Vegemite. That’s the stud. I love it”.

Brendan became a fan of Vegemite during his first Australia tour in 2000. “The first time I went to Australia I was staying in Manly Vale, in the Northern Beaches area,” he says. “I had a night out which I rarely do and I was rough. I said ‘man, I’ve got to get some Advil or something.’ My girlfriend at the time said, ‘sit down’ and made me two vegemite pieces of toast. Vegemite and butter and my hangover was gone in seconds. I’m a believer”.

Fun fact: Vegemite is made from leftover brewers yeast extract. Basically, everything that doesn’t go into making a beer is used to make Vegemite.

Fun fact 2: Vegemite was developed in Melbourne, Australia by Cyril Callister. Cyril died in 1949 and was buried at Box Hill Cemetery. We assume he was played in a coffin and not spread all over the plot.
