Origins of Spam: Celebrating 80 years of the canned meat
You can grill it, fry it, or eat it right out of the can: Spam. For over 80 years the salty canned meat has been feeding America. From its start in a small Minnesota town to its global presence today, here’s the origins of Spam’s flavorful history.

Spam is releasing a Pumpkin Spice variety of its fabled canned meat. Just in time for the end of summer, and the approaching autumn.
A joke image appeared on social media in 2017 that showed a can of Pumpkin Spice Spam, the New York Post reports. Now, two years later, it’s not a joke anymore. Starting Sept. 23, fans will be able to order the unexpected food item from Walmart.com and Spam.com.
Writers at the Daily Meal reportedly tried some of the Spam and concluded that it's not that bad after all. One compared it to breakfast sausage; another felt it might make a good pairing with a scramble or a breakfast sandwich.
