I didn’t see a US flag in this grid so it should be Liquorice.

Wasn’t Vegemite’s 100th 2022?

I found it hard to rate this grid - I solved it very quickly and got all the connections - but there was a lot of luck in that. I only knew the connection for two of the Disney group and two of the Daryl Hannah group - but guessed right at the last minute. Got the Daryl Hannah group based on actresses and the Disney one fell into place

So it felt easy - but was it early ? Sometimes luck just goes my way !

@Neil, from National Museum of Australia "Vegemite was invented in Melbourne in 1923 when an Australian food manufacturer requested a product similar to British Marmite. This spread made from brewer’s yeast became a distinctively ‘Australian food’ despite being owned by an American company for several decades. Vegemite is carried around the world by Australians as a way to reaffirm their connection to home."

Stitched me up proper with Glynis. WD TY

@Trix - it actually says since 1923 on the label - so spot on - my mistake

I don’t know where I got 1922 from but it was in my head…

Didn’t matter because I knew Disney down to the actual day ( it happens to be my birthday although not 1923 in my case !! )

A good fun grid even if you de spell my favourite confectionary the American way!
