Australia's favourite food spread has paired with two of the nation's biggest movie cinema chains to create a new flavour sensation – Vegemite popcorn.

It may sound a bit weird at first, but think about it. Vegemite, butter, cheese, popcorn. Mmmmm ...

In a press release, the general manager of sales and marketing at Village Entertainment, Mo Bhargava, said:

“Popcorn remains the number one movie going snack for our customers, and we, alongside our partners at Event Cinemas, are delighted to be able to offer such innovation within our Gourmet Popcorn flavour range in partnership with Vegemite.”

Matt Gray, the marketing manager at Vegemite added, “Vegemite loves popping up in new and exciting places, and we can’t wait to spread the love with a popcorn that truly tastes like Australia.

“The combination tastes delicious and we’re excited for our fans to try it.”

Vegemite popcorn is available at Village Cinemas and Event Cinemas.

Still, not sure I'd be a fan. Would you try it? Or have you already given it a go? Have you tried any of the other weird Vegemite pairings, such as Vegemite icy poles, Vegemite Four N Twenty pies, Vegemite smoothies, or Vegemite chocolate?
