Vegemite, an Australian savory spread made from yeast, veggies and spices, has many purposes.

For example, it can even go with chocolate.

Cadbury Australia confirmed that the limited-edition flavor pairing was, indeed, happening.

.@Cadbury + Vegemite. The most talked about flavour combination yet… is real! #ChocPlusWhat pic.twitter.com/rU7S7CgYQi— Cadbury Australia (@CadburyAU) May 7, 2015

It was first inspired by responses to the company's hashtag #ChocPlusWhat?, as were three other new flavors: salted caramel, pretzel and peanut, and golden toffee.

Despite some clamor for the new Cadbury bar, plenty of chocolate lovers are iffy about the idea.

Who in god's name thought a Vegemite-Cadbury mixup was a good idea? https://t.co/pT5GJyYHn2— James Hutchinson (@j_hutch) April 9, 2015

Vegemite and Chocolate should never be put together. #justsaying— Jordan Jansen (@JordanJansen) May 7, 2015

Vegemite Flavoured Chocolate. Seriously. I can think of 100 things to dip into chocolate - vegemite isn't 1 of them. http://t.co/tQhv6N8S9C— Jeana Thomas (@flaves2000) May 7, 2015

The chocolatey debut is set for on June 1.
