Yes, they really do make those varieties. You can get them at the Spam Museum Gift Shop, and maybe even a grocer near you. :)

SPAM is a tradition in my family.
We LOVE those SPAMburgers.
It’s for the upcoming DEPRESSION which the DEMOCRATS are putting us into!!! Or, it’s for “emergencies” like terrorist attacks. We are NOT dumb.
I had a Spam sandwich yesterday. I broke every rule in the book. I used white bread, Miracle Whip Salad dressing and Spam. With a cold glass of milk I was in heaven. Seriously, this was a staple when I was a kid and we always liked it. Sorry, I don’t mean to offend the sensibilities of the gourmets out there, but facts are facts, I love the stuff.
I suspect that one reason why people are buying more spam is that they fear some kind of economic catastrophe, and they want to lay a little food by, just in case.
That would also go for the other foods mentioned, beans and rice.
And, as well, it would apply to the huge increase in sales of ammunition. People are perhaps saying, “Well, maybe we won’t need this stuff, but it won’t hurt to have it, just in case.”
Spam is the State food of Hawaii. It rocks, and hardens the arteries better than super glue.
I wouldn’t consider SPAM cheap but it keeps well in the cupboard.
I like the stuff
That's just wrong. But sooooooo tasty!
I remember Nikita Khrushchev said he would have starved during WWII if not for Spam. I think we sent huge amounts to the Soviet Union.
If you slice it very thin and fry it up it almost tastes like real ham. Add that to some garlic pastaroni with a can of peas and you got a good meal.
From 2005:
With $136 million in sales, South Korea is the largest market in the world for Spam outside the United States. But here, some consider the pink luncheon meat with its gelatinous shell too nice to buy for themselves, and 40% of the Spam is purchased as gifts.
Especially during the holidays, you can see the blue-and-yellow cans neatly stacked in the aisles of the better stores. . . the Spam often comes wrapped in boxed sets. A set of 12 cans costs $44.
“Spam really is a luxury item,” said . . . an impeccably dressed fashion buyer who was loading gift boxes of Spam into a cart at the Shinsegae department store before the recent Chusok holiday. . .
I guess this means they are going to be making less dog food.
Hated it as a kid. love it now. Have a whole spam electronic cookbook.
Who would have thought that my favorite breakfast(perfected at hunting camp) is now food for the thrifty;fried spam slices, scrambled eggs, Krusteaz buttermilk pancakes(add huckleberries if ripe) smothered in real butter and molasses, fried potatoes...and liberal cups of black coffee. And I am so happy to see that my favorite snack food, beer, gets mentioned also.
