Pumpkin Spice Spam Exists — Yes, Really

Amy Pilkington 14 Aug 2019

I'm not really for or against Spam as a product. I guess you can say I'm Spam agnostic.

Even if you're pro-Spam, their latest variety may result in an "Oh, hell no!" reaction.


Because, you see, Pumpkin Spice Spam is coming this fall.

Please take as much time as you need to process that news.

In particular, it felt very breakfast-y to them, and wouldn't be out of place with waffles.

Which, I'll admit, is an intriguing idea.

The product goes on sale September 23, but only through the company's official online store or through Which is a shame, but I can see why stores would worry about devoting shelf space to such an oddball idea.
