Spam tends to divide people into three groups — those who love it, those who hate it and those who refuse to find out.
Wherever you fall, it's almost hard not to respect — or at least be in awe of — a "meat product" that's been around for 70 years. And to mark it's platinum anniversary, Spam is rolling out single-serve packets of its signature product.
That's right, no more fussing with a can. Spam aficionados now can get their fix in 3-ounce packets in either Classic or Lite (half the fat, a third fewer calories, a quarter less sodium).
But perhaps more interesting than the food contained in the packets is the campy verbiage on the outside.
"This dotted line is like a freeway," the package of Spam Single Classic reads along the tear-to-open-here line. "The freeway to a delicious explosion in your mouth."
Or this on the Spam Lite Single packet: "It's time to enjoy. Take another bite and throw your head back and think wonderful thoughts of faraway places while you chew. Like a magical Spam Lite castle in the sky. ..."
