Since it was introduced in 1937, over eight billion cans of Spam have been sold all over the world. That eight-billionth can was sold in 2012, so it’s fair to say that the brand has sold far more since then.
According to the folks at Hormel, the company that makes Spam, 12.8 cans of Spam are eaten in the world every second.
Spam’s name was the result of a contest that was won by a man named Ken Daigneau, who received $100 for his efforts. No one has ever really come up with a solid explanation for the name, although the most popular theory seems to be that it’s simply a cotraction of the words “spiced ham.” But the company says the real answer “is known only by a small circle of former Hormel executives. And probably Nostradamus.”
If you’ve ever wondered what Spam is actually made of, here it is: Hormel says Spam is actually made up of only six ingredients: pork with ham, salt, water, sugar, sodium nitrite and potato starch.
Spam is sold in 15 different varieties.
