Love Spam?

Little early in the year to be ruining things with the pumpkin spice, isn’t it?


You going to try flogging eggnog in September next? *shudders*
 
Spam is not food

Span is not food and adding spice is not going to make it food. Try it if you like but remember... YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
 
Span is not food...

The difficulty of delivering fresh meat to the front during World War II saw Spam become a ubiquitous part of the U.S. soldier's diet. It became variously referred to as "ham that didn't pass its physical", "meatloaf without basic training", and "Special Army Meat". Over 150 million pounds of Spam were purchased by the military before the war's end.

During World War II and the occupations which followed, Spam was introduced into Guam, Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines, and other islands in the Pacific. Immediately absorbed into native diets, it has become a unique part of the history and effects of U.S. influence in the Pacific islands.

As a consequence of World War II rationing and the Lend-Lease Act, Spam also gained prominence in the United Kingdom. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher later referred to it as a "wartime delicacy". In addition to increasing production for the U.K., Hormel expanded Spam output as part of Allied aid to the similarly beleaguered Soviet Union. Nikita Khrushchev declared: "Without Spam we wouldn't have been able to feed our army." Throughout the war, countries ravaged by the conflict and faced with strict food rations came to appreciate Spam.

The billionth can of Spam was sold in 1959, the seven billionth can was sold in 2007, and the eight billionth can was sold in 2012.

Not only is it food, but it was an essential part of the war effort.
 
Yeah it's pretty big in Hawaii.
It's not the worst thing in the world and if you're hungry it's damn near the best thing in the world.
 
We probably agree about a lot of things

Wot?! We actually agree on something. :D

I am sure we agree about a lot of things. Just because people have a different set of experiences in life that lead them to different viewpoints doesn't mean that we have no common ground. It would be great if we all tried to understand each other when there are divergent viewpoints. We can all come together over our mutual distain for Pumpkin Spice Spam. Agree?
