The hoax part of the story is the personal use

The part where people try to say it is illegal to bring it into the country for personal use. The border patrol agents who decide to confiscate it are the ones falling for the hoax. Providing documentation and asking to see a supervisor may get you around the issue, but maybe not. What is going on with Kraft, I don't know, but it doesn't seem to be a big enough deal for anyone, outside of Kraft, to actually worry about. Seamus

While Kraft won't ship the stuff, I'm sure there's people buying wholesale lots and shipping it in containers of other stuff. At the price it's sold for here they can afford to lose a lot now and then. I got mine for $3.89 for 4 ounces, which is a dollar less than the going rate. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

I was really referring to the bureaucrats who could help score some points with the Aussies by getting Vegemite on the approved list. Who knows they might be so grateful that they send some troops to help with the surge. Seamus

Kraft, though, may be perfectly happy with the bootleg market since they say sales in the U.S. are rather small. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
