After Hanks shared the image on Twitter, Australian Twitter chided him for the amount of vegemite spread, a salty and pungent paste made from yeast extract, he used on the spread. Hanks’ son Colin also joined the party to take a dig at his father and tweeted:
I've been saying "That's way too much for one piece of toast." to him for years.

okay you need to scrape around 60% of that vegemite off, otherwise it's gonna be nasty and hurt your mouth friend.

'Perfect amount'
However, some Twitteratis were not on the same page and urged the actor to ignore the suggestions to use less Vegemite spread.
this is the perfect amount of vegemite, anyone who says otherwise is wrong

On March 12, the American actor took to Twitter to announce that the couple tested positive for COVID-19 and have to be kept under isolation as per the medical protocols. A day later, he thanked everyone who was taking good care of the couple and said that they were taking one day at a time.
“There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no?” he tweeted.
