    in 10th grade, i had a health teacher who had a 20 year old can of spam. he would always tout how it would never go bad because of the preservatives. one day he slammed it on a kids desk because they fell asleep. it opened and it was full of mold. the whole class stank for a while. so glad i saw it happen

    As an adult I have never purchased or or eaten Spam, the last Spam I ever ate was probably at ny parents house pre 1975. However, with the meat shortages in my local grocery stores I recently did ordere a 12 pack of low sodium Spam. The cans in my 12 pack all have a best buy date of July 2024, so I'll be eating Spam sometime before or shortly after that. My mom served our family fried Spam slices when I was a child, usually as a breakfast food, although occassionally baked topped with a brown sugar glaze and pineapple. As a small child I always got my dad to remove the key from the metal strip after the can was opened so I could save the keys on a keyring. The keys were kept as pretend skeleton keys in my spy/ weapons and chemicals kit. I was a very odd little girl. I'm planning to save the pull tabs off my new Spam cans to make Barbie Doll clothes hangers for the Barbie Doll clothes I make my granddaughter. I'm aware that's not nearly as cool skeleton keys .

You had to be so careful not to cut yourself in the can edges,and stick a butter knife sometimes in the edge to break the suction for it to release from the can...I like it fried lightly brown and crispy,but also fight out of the can too,- on a sandwich with bread & butter pickles and yellow mustard! You must fry it properly in a saute pan with a light layer of veg.or canola oil..I wouldn't have touched that old one after the first sniff..

    One thing you failed to do, was mention the cans material make up, of the modern day being, Aluminum pop top and the older Original Spam can being steel keyed wind up, to open can. One thing about the older spam product, it always had the fat and oil contents gelled surrounding the Spam meat so as to have some of the juices to cook them in.
    Opened a can of pineapples, 7yrs passed its expiration date. It didn’t look like anything compared to a new can of pineapples, nor did it taste anything like pineapples should have tasted. The fruits acids broke down the fruit after about three to four years is my guess and you could visually see the differences after 7 yrs. Enjoyed your Spam experiment, as Spam is considered a staple food growing up in, Hawaii. It was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands during WW II, and was included in family meals ever since then.

    If my memories serves me right, SPAM back a long time ago used to have a gelatinous coating from when it was "cooked" at the factory. It'll do that when you make your own SPAM, which is very easy to do, and you know what went in making that stuff. Modern SPAM doesn't have that gelatinous coating like the old school SPAM used to have. Some folks say that SPAM tasted better back then. That's them. I didn't grow up during that time. I occasionally eat SPAM if I crave for it. I do it the usual way of frying slices in a skillet and serving it on lightly toasted bread with mayo.

    Another random tidbit, I've never had Spam and rarely eat meat, but I've been to the Spam museum! A friend and I went there one weekend back in highschool just for something to do. It's since moved and been redesigned. It was pretty cool though - the doors were designed to look like pig faces... Which is pretty grim when you think about it.
    There's also a Spam stand at the MN State Fair that has things like Spam burgers and, I think, Spam tots. It's been a while since I've gone to the fair.

    I found 3 packs of 50 year old Viceroy cigarettes in a bag in my garage. I opened one pack to see what they looked like. They were so gross. They were all brown. I think the moisture evaporated through the cigarette paper and stained them brown.The tobacco was very hard and crumbly. I also found a half full jar of Anacin that expired in 1964. The pills had these weird crystal things growing on them.

    The new spam uses a different recipe. Notice the old cam states “pork shoulder, ham…” and the new one just states “pork”. In the interest of profit, hormel dropped the pork shoulder and began using other pork scraps.

      Apparently the newer stuff is higher quality and taste better. Still not paying $4 for a can of meat though. That is ridiculous. I can buy 8 cans of corn in my town for the same price as that Spam.

    When growing up, I always heard that Spam has a 30 year shelf life. So yeah, that can of Spam exceeded that. Lol

    The older Spam was made with ham bone broth and had a lot more fat in the can! It actually look gelatinous! The older spam also had a very strong smell.

    I started laughing so hard when you described the rotting meat permeating the whole neighborhood. Had to stop and explain why I was laughing to the husband.
