SPAM
The Flash Point of Spam
is 738 degrees Fahrenheit...
A fact put to great effect by camp cook pvt. harold L. Winge in WWII. During an ammunition shortage at the battle of the bulge, Winge inserted blasting caps into surplus cans of spam.
WINGE's Platoon used the 'Pork Brick Grenades' to hold off german troops for 13 hours until ammunition supplies arrived...
nein!
For his efforts winge was affectionately nicknamed 'the porkbrick bomber' by his platoon. After the war, the hormel company heard harold's story...
and awarded him a lifetime
supply of the famed canned meat.
IT's A fACT!
