In the early days of Australia, a yeast product was imported from UK
called 'MARMITE' (I'm not sure of the spelling).
A local product was brewed to compete with MARMITE and was named
PAWILL.
The products were very similar in taste but very dissimilar in name!
PAWILL was later renamed VEGEMITE, I'm not sure why but probably the
original name was through to be too sexist.
