In the Food sector, Hormel issued their latest earnings, reporting a 9 percent drop in 3rd quarter earnings. They cited lower sales of “Spam” as the key reason for the disappointment. Since “Spam” has always been a favorite when times are tough, I guess we should glean from this report that the consumer is thriving.

Just wait until I get around to restocking the bunker.

I have enough spam in my inbox already.

Went to the local Asian supermarket and they were selling spam sushi. Apparently its a hit in Hawaii, just never saw it here.
