SPAM! (Not the unwanted email but the processed meat!)

The next stop was the SPAM Museum in Austin, Minnesota. Yes, a museum dedicated exclusively to the processed canned meat! The museum was pretty nice and filled with collectibles and pop cultural references to SPAM. They also briefly went into how SPAM is made... without all the graphic detail though. There were lots of interactive sections of the museum - for example you can take part in a quiz show about SPAM and take your hand at answering random questions. There's also a pretty big store where you can get everything from different flavored SPAM (didn't realize there were different flavors, incluiding jalapeño) to SPAM socks to mugs to shirts.

An odd museum but an interesting one!
