    i still haven't tried it

    although the mixture of cream cheese and vegemite sounds wrong

    i think i'll give it a shot if i find one of those super rare jars

    Well it looks like it's official:

    Name scrapped

    Btw, it tastes like crap!

    Original is still the best (albeit only in small quantities, not an inch thick of the stuff like how i_amtrunks enjoys it!) lol

    It actually tastes quite nice, I reckon. It's a creamy Vegemite, that is subtle enough to eat by the spoon, unlike the strong salty taste of the regular spread. When I tried a jar, I tried it on a teaspoon first, and ended up eating the whole lot (not all at once) by spoon, instead of on something like bread.
    Cheese and Vegemite is a popular combination (despite some saying it sounds horrible), but this doesn't have much of a cheesy taste to it. It is more creamy than cheesy.

    The name was stupid though, and I don't know how it was even chosen. Whoever decided that name was the winner should be sacked. A spread has to sound right in common sentances that it is likely to be used in. 'isnack' just never articulated well enough like popular spreads do in a sentance.

    I think its way better than the original, its not as strong but you go through it twice as fast.

    I think the whole isnack 2.0 was to stir-up publicity!!

    Agreed with all of this, except for the eating it off a spoon part. What's wrong with you?!??!

    Biggest problem so far is that it's only been available in those reasonably expensive smaller sized jars.

    It was better than I thought as well. We bought a jar ages ago to try, finally got round to opening it and trying it. Goes good with rice biscuits. I like it coz it is creamy, not really cheesy.
    I could almost eat the whole jar as well with a spoon

    I do like the original as well, I spread it semi thinly on a piece of toast, my fiance has a thick layer of it. My dad hates it but what do you expect from a pom? Most people I speak to from that side of the world dont seem to like it.

    (Tooheys Old kinda has a vegemite taste to it )

    I agree, Old is a great beer, forget Apple's 'i'things. Call it Tooheys Old N'Cream Cheesy!

    i kinda like it, but you have to use more of it to get any flavour.. tricky kraft marketing!

    I was watching the 7pm Project the other night and they said (not sure how reliably, but funny nonetheless) that iSnack was being scrapped, and a recent poll had come up with new replacement names:

    1. fromage noir (dark cheese)
    2. voldemite (the cheese that must not be named)
    3. yer mum mite (lol)
    there was a fourth but i cant remember.. i thought voldemite was pretty funny!
