That's SPAMalicious! SPAMtastic! It's SPAMforting to know that Jay Hormel's Spiced Ham became "SPAM", grew up with the original Mai Tai and other classic Tiki concoctions, and is still going strong.

I spent the summer in Hawaii (Oahu and Maui) in 1964. SPAM was pretty popular there then, but probably way more popular now.

The local stores in the Washington DC area have been making a big SPAM push lately, with big end displays between the aisles (or should I say the Isles) with lots of SPAMular varieties. SPAM is turning 70 (and my 70 yo SPAM is turning green...again).

ConSPAMulations to Hormel on 70 years of gelatinous pork by products in a can! McD and BK have yet to SPAMify the Washington area. I could go for a CroiSPAMwich or an Egg McSPAMfin.
