Anyone see a pattern here? It would seem that someone is trying to push traffic.
And 16 months elapsed after their first two posts (both on 11-27-2021) before posting twice again today. This isn't "normal" posting behavior.

Walmart has "Compliments" brand, which is really re-branded/re-labeled Maxwell, for 9 bucks per 1.5kg (can and a half) here. Folgers is up to about 12 and the cans have gone down in size.
<Edit>
I've got personal experience with "budget" brand stuff. The only difference between top-brand and budget brand is they called me over to change the roll in the label machine and re-set the counter. Thats it.

I'm tempted to... I even have a can of it in the pantry... but I just haven't done it yet. Not worried that i won't like it, I'm just of the impression that it's so extremely bad for me...

You have never had Spam? What are you, some kind of Commie? They probably wont even allow you in Hawaii.
Actually, it is really good. Slice it thin, maybe 1/4", cook it crisp and make it like a BLT with Swiss cheese and Dijon or horseradish mustard. Yeah, it'll probably kill you, but without it, you ain't really living.
When I was quite young, and mom was trying to stretch a dollar, we'd occasionally have SPAM in sandwiches. It was not enjoyed, by anyone in the family. I've never been even remotely tempted to have it since.

Yes, frying up thin slices of SPAM would make it somewhat more bearable, but I'm still never eating it again.
If I was required to eat meat out of a can again, it would be Corned Beef.

82 T/A has never had Spam and Patrick has never heard of Vienna sausages. OK, now I believe in flying saucers. You guys have to be from another planet.
Vienna Sausage is regular wieners cut into 2-inch pieces, stuck 9 in a can, and sold for about 3-5 bucks a can, or the same price as a whole pound of them.
HAHA! Now I know where all those logos have gone. Every time I'd see a 1986-1988 Fiero in the junkyard that had these seats, the logo was always cut out.

Vienna sausage is good. A guy at work used to buy these all the time, and had about 40-50 different kinds of cans of these that he had spread out all over his desk. Every once in a while, he would bring me one when he asked me for help on something. They're pretty good...
Last summer, my old refrigerator decided to identify as a Democrat and quit working. Supply shortages such as they were, it took me five months to get a new one, so I was buying mass quantities of whatever I could find that didn't require refrigeration. I still have enough beans, Vienna sausages and ramen noodles to last through the Biden/Harris "Dastardly Declension".

That's okay. The first time I heard the word "poutine", I was like WHAT?! Certainly didn't sound like something you could buy in a restaurant. Well, at least not most of them.
Poutine is more of a thing in Quebec, not so much for the rest of Canada... at least not for those of us who wish to keep our arteries flowing.
I have a good friend from Montreal. He speaks quite fondly of it, among other things. I've eaten it once. Will certainly, again, if the opportunity presents itself. (Not a lot of poutine in West GA. I'm sure you're shocked. )
Contact your friend today and tell him you're very sorry to hear about Guy. Seriously. He'll be very appreciative!
Perhaps. But I don't think so. He's been here since the late '90s. He's quite "americanized", although not a citizen yet. He's also not a real sports fan. I'm not sure I've ever heard him mention hockey.

Sounded like a naughty word, like slang for female anatomy... as in "Gonna get me some POUTINE tonight, boys!"

Are they actually the same? I remember them having a slimy gel like spam.

I've been to Ottawa and made the drive to Kingston several times (to RMC for work), but never had Poutine until I saw it at the airport in Vancouver. If I'm not mistaken, I think I got it from the Tim Hortons in the airport. We were coming back from an Alaska cruise which had us go through Canada as well for various excursions. But it was pretty good... but yeah, cheese curds, I can only imagine what the cholesterol on that would be. It was really good though.

From a Tim Horton's at Vancouver's airport? Oh yeah, that would certainly be the crème de la crème of poutine in Canada.
I've been to Quebec City and Montreal for hockey tournaments, and a lot of the guys on the team would go hog wild for the genuine thing available there... but I still wouldn't touch it.
