SPAM

Spam was developed by George A. Hormel & Co. and first marketed in 1937.

During WW II, Hormel sold more than half of its output to the U.S. government, which supplied SPAM to the armed forces of the U.S., and also to the U.S.S.R. under the lend-lease program.

The 1 billionth can of spam was sold in 1959.

Spam (canned meat) is produced in Fremont, Nebraska.
