We're not sure how well it was initially received, but soon World War II broke out and the canned meat was in high demand to feed Allied troops.
In fact, between 1941 and 1945, over 100 million pounds of the "meat" was sent overseas to feed our soldiers.
Since then, over seven billion cans of the pink, squishy-yet-solid meat have been sold. It's featured on t-shirts, has its own song, fan club...and museum!
