Nah, spam is "spiced ham" which, in Midwest terms "spiced" means salt and sugar.

of all the folk etymologies i've heard for spam, this one is quite the yoga expert

Quote According to the company’s Spam Museum, Ken Digneau, the brother of a Hormel executive, came up with the name — a portmanteau word for “spiced ham” — in a naming contest and got $100 as a reward. The fact that the only "spices" in the ingredients list are sugar and salt is what brings up the second part.

p sure that olivia waxman works for time magazine, not hormel museum or spam museum

also, for most of ww2, most allied soldiers were of the belief that spam was an acronym for "special army meat"

hormel even did a postwar marketing campaign to convince housewives that spam wasn't actually field rations but could be proudly served at the dining room table

Why in the purple fuck would you know so much about spam?

name me another food that rivals spam in terms of military history, hawaiian cuisine, popular culture, and digital technology.

From the Spam site (I had checked this earlier): I've also got a fun article from 1992 or 1993 that explains how everything in the universe is made from Spam. I'll see if I can track it down.

um wtf do you think that proves? did you mean to post something else?

we're debating the etymology of spam -- you claim that hormel has confirmed that it's from "spiced ham" and i claim they have confirmed no such thing. the story of the contest was never our dispute, and you'll note that it's directly mentioned in both things i cited. i was already aware of it and never once said it didn't happen, so i'm not sure how you misread me.

Found it: Quote THE SPAM CAN TOTALITY, THE UNIFICATION OF CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY Following my recently posted proof of the equivalence of TIME and SPAM, several people have written to me, asking me to explain in greater detail the nature and structure of the universe as a whole. The nature of the universe is simple--the entire observable universe is actually a single can of Spam: what we call the universe would be more accurately described as the "SPAM CAN TOTALITY." <snip> "Spam." "Beryllium" shall henceforth be known only as "spam, eggs, sausage, and spam"; and the 94th element shall forevermore be called "spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, and spam."

and now you're cleverly spamming me with spam about spam, so i'm clearly outmatched here. a hat tip to you, good sir. good day!
