I recently had a broken fridge and had to live off non-refrigerated items for a while. It's more expensive to eat tinned meats (corned beef, spam etc.) than it is to eat fresh/frozen meats. That broke me a bit.

    It doesn't just come in the can naturally like a nut bro...

    Someone has to put it in that can, that costs money

    The less people buying it, the more expensive it is, because the fixed costs are spread out among less consumers.

    That can't be true. I've seen the spam fields, bushes sprawling up to the horizon, tins glittering in the sun like melons after a morning rain...

    Ah, that brings a tear to my eye to think about. I grew up on a SPAM farm and worked it through my formative years. So many good memories working that patch. You know it’s gonna be hard work, but rewarding, when they start to lose their metal shine and ripen into a blueish hue. It’s time for harvest when the letter-like pattern deepens to a rich yellow.

    Gosh, I feel sad for folks who’ve never peeled and bitten into a fresh SPAM fruit right there in the field.
