HISTORY!:  On this day in 1937, Hormel Foods first marketed SPAM.  Since then, billions and billions of cans have been sold.   There’s even a Spam Museum.

Among those who have had a good word to say about Spam are Margaret Thatcher, who called it a “wartime delicacy” and Nikita Khrushchev, who wrote, “Without Spam we wouldn’t have been able to feed our army.”
