Anyone notice the Marketing Campaign SPAM is going on?

the thread is spam.

It's working
Last time I went shopping we noticed the SPAM and I told wife we need to buy some
She refused

Hawaiians eat tons of Spam. If Spam can have the rest of us pick it up to 50% of Oahu, they can become as big as Apple.

Says whom?

That's what I call competent marketing. Recession is barreling down on us. Cheap mystery meat makes sense in tough times. Spam gets that. Ramp up the marketing budget, increase sales, expand brand exposure. No need to waste time with ESG non-sense, or awful Tim & Eric comedy commercials. Strike while the skillet is hot.

It isn't a coincidence that SPAM steps up its marketing during times of economic downturn. They also push a little more after the holidays when they know some people maxed out credit cards to keep up with the Jonses and are now struggling to pay off their balance.

Smart bidness.

I haven’t had a fried spam & cheese sandwich in probably 20 years. Now I’m suddenly craving one.

Saw a documentary on food not to long ago and Spam is actually not mystery meat . They make it from pork shoulder and grind up the meat first. It then is put in a can and cooked inside the can. Spices and salt added before cooking. Actually made from high quality pork.

That's interesting. I've always put it in the mystery meats of Vienna Sausage/Potted Meat/Dried Beef/Hot Dogs, etc.

I think if you run the meat under water you can get rid of a considerable amount of sodium. I know this Works for canned vegetables.

That said

Rouses and maybe Walmart has chopped ham cubes that are basically a healthier spam if you're into it. Sear it in a pan and toss it in Sriracha and throw some black pepper on it. Serve over rice. Easy bachelor food and kids love it.
