Spam trivia:

Did you know they made the first batch of Spam in 1917?

I hear there are plans to make the second batch sometime very soon.


Do you know why they made the first batch of Spam?

They had a huge amount of leftover pork shoulders at the John Morrell meat
company after a holiday period. John Morrells son suggested the cooking and
canning of the excess. And so was born the original Spam. Europe survived
pretty much on Spam after WW1 for meat source.
