Vegemite Olympic Saga continues

Posted by: Canny Granny on Thursday, May 1st, 2008

The Chinese Olympics committee may have banned athletes bringing their own chow into the Olympic village, but the Americans are bringing in tonnes of food, which they will eat at a local university outside the Olympic Park.

Australian athletes are meanwhile suffering from vegemite withdrawal and will in all probability come last in their events.

China says the ban is in place to minimise the risk of illegal substances being used but let’s be serious here …it’s obviously about protecting the concessions and contracts of Olympics vendors.

There is no prize for guessing the name of the food sponsor. It starts with Mc and ends with Donalds.

Can you spare a dime for an old dame?
