THE HISTORY OF SPAM…THE EDIBLE ONE

Spam ~ Meat Adverts [1941] | Retro Musings
George and Gracie Allen remained on the radio (CBS/NBC)
until 1950 when they made the move to the small screen.

Hormel introduced Spam (for spiced ham) on July 5, 1937.

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America
states that the product was intended to increase the
sale of
pork shoulder, a cut which did not sell well.

War II saw Spam become a ubiquitous part of the U.S.
soldier’s diet. It became variously referred to as "ham
that didn’t pass its physical", "meatloaf without basic
training", and "Special Army Meat."
