ASK A QUESTION
While many credit SPAM® with helping save the lives of thousands who received humanitarian aid during the war, and
our soldiers ate a luncheon meat similar to SPAM®, it is truly the heroism of our veterans that won the war. Hormel
Foods is proud to have been able to help.
Did SPAM® win WWII?
While some speculate that the name came from mashing the two words together, SPAM® has come to mean so much
more than simply “spiced ham.” While SPAM® does certainly include ham and spices, the term “spiced ham” simply
doesn’t paint the right picture of what SPAM® really is. So in the end, SPAM® means SPAM®. For real.
Does SPAM® mean “spiced ham?”
While many people ponder how to put the taste of SPAM® into words, it has been a difficult task. Some would say
meaty. Some would say salty goodness. Some would say superfantastic ultra-mega-awesome. We believe the best
way to describe the taste of is simple. “Crazy Tasty®.”
What does SPAM® taste like?
Ken. A man named Ken was crowned the official namer of SPAM®. Jay Hormel, the father of SPAM®, held a contest to
help find a name for this most delicious meat. SPAM® was selected and Ken received a $100 prize. Hooray for Ken.
Without him, we might be eating something called Crinkycrinky or Canned Flappertanknibbles.
Who named SPAM®?
1937. SPAM® luncheon meat was enormously popular even before it got sent off to war in 1941. It is the creation of
Jay Hormel, who found a perfect way to package delicious pork shoulder meat so all that amazing flavor didn’t go to
waste. Billions and billions of cans later, the SPAM® love is stronger than ever.
When was SPAM® invented?
SPAM® is available in practically every grocery and convenience store across America. You can buy SPAM® online.
You can buy SPAM® in many foreign countries. Someday, you will be able to get SPAM® on every colonized planet in
the Federation. It is more important to ask where you will put the SPAM®: in your tummy.
Where can I get SPAM®?
In a perfect situation, SPAM® could last forever. Just like so many other canned foods, as long as no air gets into the
can, the vacuum sealed goodness inside will be as delicious and safe as the day it was made. It’s like meat with a
pause button.
How long does SPAM® last?
This may be the toughest question in the world. It’s like asking what kind of music is the best – everyone will have their
own opinion. That’s part of the beauty of SPAM®, there’s so many great ways to eat it. The most popular way to eat
SPAM®, however, seems to be frying it up in a pan and putting it in a sandwich.
What’s the best way to eat SPAM®?
That’s the beauty of SPAM® – there’s so many ways to eat it! It’s cooked in the can, so it’s ready to eat as soon as you
open it. And there’s so many ways to heat it up. Fry it, grill it, bake it, zap it with a laser cannon. While most people
probably make a SPAM® sandwich on white bread, there are thousands of SPAM® recipes available online.
How do you eat SPAM®?
Bajillions of people around the world eat SPAM®. Since 1937, 6 billion cans of SPAM® have been sold. And the 7
billion mark will be coming soon. In the United States alone, over 90 million cans are sold per year. It is a taste sensation
across the nation.
Who eats SPAM®?
There are several known SPAM™ factories around the world. Austin, Minnesota, and Fremont, Nebraska supply
SPAM® to all of North America, South America, and Australia. The rest of the world gets their SPAM® from Denmark,
the Philippines, or South Korea.
Where is the SPAM® family of products made?
A tiny amount of sodium nitrite is used to help SPAM® keep its gorgeous pink color. Without it, all pork items would turn
gray. And no one wants that. Bacon, salami, ham, and so many other delicious items contain small amounts of sodium
nitrite. It should really be renamed “pinkification.”
What is sodium nitrite?
Ham and pork are different cuts of meat. The ham is technically taken from the upper rear leg of the hog. While pork can
describe meat from several different delicious cuts. Unless you’re talking about bacon. Because bacon is just bacon.
What’s the difference between ham and pork?
SPAM® Classic is made of just a few simple ingredients. Ham, pork, sugar, salt, water, a little potato starch, and a mere
hint of sodium nitrite to help SPAM® keep its color. Sounds delicious, and it is.
What is SPAM® made of?
