Is vegemite made from vegetables?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Vegemite is a popular Australian food spread that is made from leftover brewer's yeast extract and various vegetable and spice additives. So while it does contain some vegetable ingredients, the primary ingredient in Vegemite is yeast extract, which is a byproduct of beer brewing. Therefore, while it contains vegetable additives, Vegemite is not strictly speaking made solely from vegetables.<|im_end|>

Is it true that spreading vegemite behind the ears can deter drop bear attacks?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, spreading Vegemite behind the ears is not an effective way to deter drop bear attacks. This is a common myth or joke in Australia, but it has no basis in reality. Drop bears are not a real species of bear, but rather a fictional creature often used to scare tourists. So there is no need to use Vegemite or any other substance as a deterrent against drop bear attacks.<|im_end|>

Sure, Vegemite is a dark brown food paste that is popular in Australia and some other countries. It is made by blending yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives such as celery and onion. Vegemite is usually spread on toast, crackers, or sandwiches and has a distinct savory and salty taste. It is also a good source of B vitamins and is often consumed as a breakfast food.<|im_end|>
