Spam, never to be outdone, has unveiled its own demented take on everybody’s favorite orange gourd: Pumpkin Spice Spam. The canned meat product — which spawned a viral fake in 2017 — goes public for real on September 23, and will be available on Spam.com and Walmart.com. The Daily Meal got an advance taste of the sweet and savory specialty and reports that it’s not…the worst thing they’ve ever tasted? Since its creation circa 2003, PSL-inspired foods have gone through all phases of a trend’s brief existence, from earnest appreciation at its Starbucks birthplace to meme territory. Now, even Martha Stewart is over it. Last year, she declared the lattes “basic.” And in the wake of the Pumpkin Spice Spam, even the PSL’s strongest base is distancing itself from the drink.
