Spam

I forced John to go to the SPAM Museum. After all, if we’re here in Minnesota (our 43rd state!), you have to go to the SPAM Museum…even if we don’t really like SPAM. Though, after trying a couple of varieties with their free samples, there seems to be some good ones. By the way, I mean the meat in a can not the type of email!

It is a pretty big museum for just discussing SPAM. A statue outside…

…and inside there was a giant SPAM sandwich along with SPAM cans moving along a conveyor. The story is that they are attached by Velcro so no one knocks them down. There is a lot of information like there are 203,000 pounds of pork shoulder and 45 miles of labels used every day in SPAM production.

I liked the mention of SPAMALOT that played Broadway while John pointed out when the old Central States Can (now Crown Cork & Seal) took over the production of the can manufacturer and produced the easy-open lid). John and I worked at Central States. He spent literally months working on the SPAM can and lid. So it was cool to see the can display.

BTW, the picture of us at the top was taken by another couple in an RV. We just happened to meet up inside the museum. Thanks!
