"If you've ever wondered if it's true that Vegemite has no expiration date, I can confirm that it's true."
The man shared the post in the Reddit community group titled "Australia", which boasts almost 1 million members.
And while the fact came as a shock to him, most Aussies were unfazed by it with many quick to point out it is made from yeast extract and has a high salt content, which acts a natural preservative.
"It's 70 per cent salt so you probably have at least another 6 Australian prime minister changes before it stops being effective against drop bears," one person joked.
"Vegemite is to Australians what honey was to the ancient Egyptians. You will be OK to uncover a jar from a grave in 2000 years and still use it," another person added.
A third added: "Two things will outlast humanity: 1. Microplastics 2. Vegemite."
Others went on to reveal how long they have had their Vegemite jars.
"My Vegemite has a celebratory Commonwealth Games label on it. Not sure which Commonwealth Games, but it's definitely not the current one," a Reddit user wrote.
Another Aussie said they found a jar at their nan's place when they were cleaning the house after she died in the late 80s.
"She'd lived there for 40+ years. Found an old jar of Vegemite, like super old-looking retro jar and label. Smelled fine, was a bit thicker but a finger dip taste of it was fine too … but we chucked it anyway bcs we're not that desperate," they wrote.
