How did spam get its name?
The Legend of Spam: Back in 1937, the Hormel Foods company invented a canned, spiced ham that became super popular back during WWII due to the scarcity of fresh meats. In the 1960s the British TV show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" had a regular skit about a restaurant that served spam with everything, spam burgers, spam omelets, spam mashed potatoes, spam apple pie, spam spam, etc. In the skit there was a table of customers that would sing "Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, beautiful spam, wonderful spam!" until someone would make them shut up. At some point the term made the cultural jump to describe junk e-mail that repeats itself everywhere, and because of its repetitive, annoying nature. Additional Information: Introduced in 1937, the original name was Hormel Spiced Ham. Later the name of SPAM was derived from SP (from spiced) and AM (from ham). In humorous circles it was called Something Posing As Meat - or Spare Parts Animal Meat
