How Spam became cool again

The 85-year-old canned block of meat has undergone a cultural reinvention. Hormel\n \n has sold a record amount of Spam for seven straight years, and 2022 is on pace for another such milestone. The conglomerate behind Skippy and Jennie-O turkey says it can’t make Spam fast enough and is increasing production capacity. Spam is a trending ingredient on TikTok and on the menu at fine-dining restaurants in coastal cities. In 2019, a limited-edition Spam pumpkin spice flavor sold out in minutes.

And then came the United States’ entrance into World War II in 1941, the decisive moment in Spam’s growth. At many Pacific outposts, which had little refrigeration or local sources of meat, American and Allied troops relied on the canned meat that could be stored away for months and eaten on the go. Hormel says more than 100 million pounds of Spam were shipped overseas to help feed the troops during the war.

Spam became cool again by funding the war

We have exactly the same product here in France (Canned pork shoulder) called Tulip. But not iconic at all here like in the US.

Not for me. Allergic to Pork. Spam is 100t out for me.

Interesting paper

High sodium levels keeping the population hooked on hypertension drugs.

Bidenflation is the reason.

A nuclear threat

Did it, though?

It didn't. The fat in it is healthy - it's the sodium that will kill u

It’s not cool, Biden just crashed the US economy forcing people to eat poverty food.

There's one born every day. Spam is revolting.

Students at SharifUni are being attacked by Iran's regime forces. They are locked inside of the building and cannot get out. They need immediate support, please spread the word. MahsaAmini

Thanks to GOP fascism, which I am renaming 'magatism', more and more people can't afford actual meat.

Should be illegal - it's poison. The fat? That's healthy. It's the SODIUM that will destroy ur health

In Hawaii it’s a delicacy.. I like the Spam Light if you can find it.. sliced thin.. fry in a pan… make a sandwich with lettuce and tomato. It’s also adaptable with breakfast as well. Awesome with syrup. ( Cane/ Maple). YUM !!🤗

SPAM=Special American Meat, in the Solomon Islands in the 1970s a local told me that it was very nice and they got it originally from the US Marines in WW2. That is what they called it they still liked it.

The last time Spam became cool, it was funding the war This time too

No, because it was never cool to begin with

Spam becomes cool at every economic downturn.

It never was uncool. Next question?

Outside of Monty Python no. Not cool.

I don't want to eat meat in a can.remind me of dog food.

It became cool again when you stopped associating it with poor white people and started associating it with Hawaiian cuisine. Pop culture replaces racism with classism.

Disgusting! Stop encouraging high sodeem foods in our diets.

Internet spam

Yuck 🤢

ok this is the most interesting article I've read in w while

this must be spam.

It's like when Yankee Candle can tell covid is spreading because they keep getting complaints about the candles not smelling except it's CNN wondering why a low cost meat substitute is getting more popular while the economy is going down the drain.
