  2. As you know it is very salty. We had Dutch neighbors opposite us. Now a very common spread for the Dutch is chocolate paste. Also quite commonly available these days for all of us, but back in 1960s it was not so common outside Europe. Anyhow, while grocery shopping the lady noted the Vegemite jar at the supermarket, and not having had chocolate paste for several years, craved some. Bought a jar and after packing away the purchased groceries, proceeded to spread a thick layer on a slice of bread. In her enthusiasm had not spent time reading the label properly, just accepted finally having what was clearly, "Dark Chocolate" paste. On taking her first bite, she ran from her house into the street screaming, certain she had been poisoned, as if she had just taken a mouth full of caustic cleaner paste. Fortunately our side neighbor's wife had nursing background and soon sorted out that no permanent health issue would result, and matters were soon sorted out. Lesson: NEVER CONSUME UNFAMILIAR THINGS JUST BASED ON BELIEF OF WHAT IT IS! Read labeling properly especially on unfamiliar things. When trying new things, use caution and do study given information on labels, to be sure to know contents and expected consumption. Especially if having some critical allergies, since many labels are especially obscure. Try small quantity first. A Severe High Risk.... Abnormal storage of miscellaneous contents, demands clear labelling, and safe storage location. Hazardous materials including medicines especially need careful measures. Especially children and elderly people are at high risk. Never use containers for content not matching the normal container use and intended content and not according to container labels. Especially children have died swallowing contents of mis identified containers,.the horror cases like paint stripper, pipe cleaner or weed killer in a lemonade (pop) bottle keep appearing year after year. It is just inviting disaster.
