    This is the best informative video I have found so far about SPAM. I was captivited by the story of some USSR soldiers who were at the brink of starvation, but were saved thanks to the US Lend and Lease program. The soldiers said that they cried when they first received the SPAM cans from US Soldiers, they were going to be able to live another day, to fight for their country. Good stuff m8, keep it up!

    One thing they might’ve forgotten to mention is the fact it is relatively cheap. My favorite meal growing up was fried spam, eggs and rice. Now as a adult in my 30’s that is still a very affordable and wholesome meal when times are tough. You can also feed a lot of people for the price.

      My bad! Austin, Minnesota is correct.

    This video was very informative, and very well put-together! Thank you so much for all the work you did on presenting this! As a proud Minnesotan I must say that it was Austin Minnesota, not Texas. But I'm sure you've heard that time and time again! Thank you again for such a wonderful video

    SPAM is an acronym. It stands for Scientifically Processed Animal Matter.
    No not really, but it's funny.
