Will we still have to get our spam from Canada?
It may be very popular in Hawaii, but I never cared for it. Give me real ham, and keep the Spam. But Spam has helped a lot of people eat better than they would have if Hormel had not created the product back in 1937. It also fed the Russian military in WWII. Nikita Khrushchev declared: "Without Spam we wouldn't have been able to feed our army".
It only took 22 years, 1959, for the billionth can of Spam to sell. By 2007, 7 billion had been sold.
