Dad and Daughter Saved Can of “Election Night” SPAM for 3 Years, Ate It During Election

If you don't know, SPAM is a gelatinous meat made up of cooked pork shoulder. It was created before we knew that you're supposed to throw pork shoulder in a smoker for at least 8 hours.

Since then, the Galaudets moved from Florida to Ames, Iowa, and the can sure enough came with them.

Election Day finally came yesterday, three years later, and it was time for John and Allison to eat their can of meat.
