I don’t think I want to try this stuff! I only heard a few minutes of this before drifting off though. 😁

PS..eeewww Benjamin, that sounds gross! 😂😂

I was left wondering about vegemite...fell asleep too quickly.

Didn’t learn much about vegemite, except that it doesn’t sound at all appealing, because I fell asleep quickly. Didn’t make it to umami. Thanks Benjamin.
