Spam Guys You know, there is a reason why unwanted email is named after a fake meat product, as well as that "Monty Python" song, and that's because it is so awful. I used to get spam (the fake meat) in primary school, and believe me, I never ever want to taste that foul tasting fatty conglomeration of meat again. I understand that spam was invented (or thrown together from leftover scraps) during the second world war to feed a population suffering from a (real) meat shortage. So this "thing" from a bygone era should have been consigned to the history books but, due to something mysterious, people like it. Yuck. UK Bob |

And I think punitive damages are in order; after all, they packed the stuff in gelatin! I think the popularity was continued because it helped remind people of the sacrifices they made and the unity brought about during WWII. Many here say that the war years were among the best years (everyone had a job, and shared a common enemy). Of course, that generation is dying out (too much canned meat?). |
They like SPAM in Hawaii?????? Well Guys It might be a fact that they like (love) spam in Hawaii but can anybody say WHY? UK Bob PS. May be a forum member from Hawaii can answer that one. |
New Vegemite puts Kraft in pickle Well Australian Forum Members It seems that apart from cricket you really love your Vegemite :xirokrotima:, so much so that any suggestion of renaming the product :peep: is treated as heresy :rifle: :frag: :peep: BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | New Vegemite puts Kraft in pickle UK Bob |
Vegemite originated in Australia but the rights to it were bought over by USA company Kraft. And now many of our other inventions or expertise in development ... becomes USA property. We so luv the USA trade agreement. Giving us little and them the right to change our laws. :( Somehow I think we were greatly shortchanged there. But Howard's Liberal government was so .. pfft !!! The Australian Liberals always were a bunch of arrogant dogmatic prikss; short-sighted & selfish; seeing themselves 'only' in the world. |
