1952

In the year of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, the Vegemite label reflected its association with the American company Kraft. Kraft's logo, a 'K' in a hexagon, appeared for the first time just above the word "Vegemite".

1954

1954 was a memorable year for Vegemite. For the first time, the "Happy Little Vegemites" jingle rang out from speakers across the country, and an advertising classic was born. A catchy tune that caught our imagination like no other, it was a song for the times, a song for healthy children in a "Lucky Country" where living standards were rapidly rising.

1956

The Happy Little Vegemites were now more than just a jingle; they could also be seen cavorting and singing on television. This was also the year the Olympic Games were held in Melbourne and the year Vegemite was available for the first time in a lightweight clear glass jar.
