you know what they say: when life gives you lemons make lemonade but when life gives you spam make a cult the monty python-esque story of the john frum cult is a real life example of how spam became a unlikely object of worship during wwii american Marines stationed on the pacific island of tanna brought with them a lot of canned goods including the infamous precooked meat product to the islanders who had never seen outsiders before these marines seemed like gods so when they left the island after the war the locals were heartbroken they had grown accustomed to the american presence and the Spam that came with it and thus the john frum cult was born with Spam at its core the cults rituals include parades with replica american gear and of course Spam the islanders even carved a Spam-shaped temple into the side of a mountain talk about dedication i guess you could say this cult is the spammiest thing since the invention of the internetwatch full video: https://youtu.be/nKN5B5TEWmA?list=PLjBgcvtYPpORE75rfTGw-tot-YdUQkOvo
