The canned/tinned mystery
meat that appeared in the movie Waterworld.
Society is so
FUBAR in that movie, that the
people actually look forward to being able to eat it.
The makers of
Spam must have known that Waterworld was going to be box office poison, because they didn't even want the product placement/endorsement. The movie producers ended up using a cheesy rip-off called "Smeat" instead.
In a
time of celebration, Dennis Hopper's character threw cans of Smeat to his
crew - and, strangely enough, they didn't run for their lives.
