I could hardly believe my eyes. Among all the food courts in the shopping centres dotted across SE Queensland, I have NEVER ever seen a vendor with a Vegemite sandwich on their board. I guess when people are out shopping and in need of a feed, they generally want something that their mum didn’t throw in their lunch box most days for school. But at The Green Double Decker in one of Capalaba’s shopping centres, you can in fact get this for lunch. You can even get peanut butter if that’s more your thing.

What astounded me the most wasn’t its appearance on a menu board, but the price!  For the amount they are charging for a single vegemite or PB sandwich, I could buy an entire loaf of bread and a small jar of the stuff. Then it hit me….I could make 20 sandwiches, flog them off at a little stall down the way for $1 and still make a profit. Seriously, you could get the egg or cheese sandwich and pay the same price. Are they trying to tell me that eggs and cheese cost the same amount to purchase wholesale as a jar of Vegemite or peanut butter? The mind indeed does boggle. o.O
