A photo of a jar of vegemite on sale at Sydney airport has left people in disbelief at the ridiculous price they are trying to sell it for.
A picture of the expensive spread was posted to Reddit with the caption: "Standard airport pricing for Vegemite!"
A 560 gram jar of vegemite costs $19 at Sydney airport.
To give a comparison on just how expensive that is, the same sized jar can be bought from Woolworths for $8.
Social media users were horrified by the crazy mark-up.
"The infamous 'your fault for not ducking up to the shops before your flight' tax," one person wrote.
"Probably be cheaper to get a taxi to Wolli Creek Woolies, buy your Vegemite there, then get another taxi back to T1." another said.
Other people were less concerned about the price of the vegemite and instead were wondering why anyone needed to take it on a flight in the first place.
"Those here who travel with vegemite… why? Is it you don’t want to try something new, or? I just seriously don’t get it," one person wrote.

Disclosure of tax payments would make it easier to hold politicians accountable. It also would help to reduce fraud and economic inequality
John Quiggin: Economics in Two Lessons is coming out in the US next week. That gives me an excuse to share some of the nice things people have said about it. I’m particularly pleased with this one from Jacob Hacker, whose own work I admire very much.
With apologies to Isaiah Berlin, Quiggin is a foxy hedgehog: He knows two big things, and these twin lessons—about the virtues and limits of markets—sustain a pioneering, persuasive, and even passionate case for democracy and the mixed economy. Make room for two lessons in your mind, and on your bookshelf.”—Jacob S. Hacker, coauthor ofAmerican Amnesia: How the War on Government Led Us to Forget What Made America Prosper
