Sales of Spam rise as consumers trim food costs

Spam, spam, spam , spam. The fried eggs, baked beans, sausage and spam doesn't have much spam in it.

Ewwww!

I was about to post the same thing.

I suppose the three of you really have nothing that great to say.

The reason why people are buying SPAM in the first place is because other foods are too expensive. Especially when you're not just feeding yourself but have a family or a child to feed along with you. Baby formula is getting just as expensive, and although breast feeding is cheaper, you have to spend the time to eat right and better as so your child will get the correct nutrition from you.

In any case, any one who has ever dealt with bills, including food, should know that stretching every penny counts for surviving. Next thing you know, we're all going to go hunting for meat, and work on it ourselves instead of going to the store and buying a cut of meat that has already been cut, cleaned, and 'graded' for you.

Gross! I'd have to be really scraping by to force myself to put that crap in my mouth.

Worst food on the planet. Embarassing that it is from Minnesota. Let's let Iowa have Mower county. Austin, Mn is the armpit of the state.

The armpit of the state? As opposed to the beauty of St. Paul. I will take Mower county over the shi*hole that is Ramsey county any day.

SPAM isn't that terrible. Austin, MN may have it's downfalls but it really is in a beautiful part of the state.

Maybe those of you criticizing either or both should try again.

That would be a cool website, the Spam Cam. People could tune in and see how a piece of Spam on a plate fares at room temperature. I bet it wouldn't look too much different after a month or so......
