    It is said that “Spam” is short for “spiced ham.”

    This photo also includes spiced rum.

    The photographer is having Spam and Spum.

        Ren and Stimpy makes me so uncomfortable after learning that John K. was a groomer pedo. Made all that much worse by him hiring his victim (“intern”), and recording BtS commentary while seated next to her. I was so disgusted by how many times I watched the cartoons and interviews, only to realize in retrospect that what looked like a young animator who was shy while speaking camera was actually a victim being pressured into praising her abuser in front of an audience.

              Supposedly, he wasn’t a perpetrator of sexual misconduct at that time, even though accounts from that time sure look like he was. Then again, even if he were victimizing minors, so was anyone who held any power at Nickelodeon at the time. So, firing him for anything other than deadlines would have caused an explosion of blowback.

      The Soviets during WWII called Spam “second front” because they were a little tetchy about having to fight Hitler mostly by themselves for most of their part of the war.

          Granted, I’m far from an expert, but by “recognized brand”, I meant “brand so well-known that people who know as little or even less than me know of it”

          Like your Smirnoffs, your Jack Daniels, your José Cuervos etc etc.
