Retro Ad of the Week: SPAM, 1941

Before SPAM was a verb, it was a mystery meat. A mystery meat that would apparently make men jump out of bed and sprint to the breakfast table.

Gotta love the closing line: Cold or hot, SPAM hits the spot. Take a look for a good Friday afternoon laugh:

Despite their cheesy advertising from the past and decades of mystery meat jokes, their website does a good job of embracing who they are instead of trying to convince you they are something else. And if you ever wanted to see what SPAM is actually made of, they tell you about that in a fun way too.

    SPAM is so popular in Hawaii that they have a celebration in honor of it, every year in Waikiki: http://www.spamjamhawaii.com/
