SPAM
SPAM’s popularity dates back to WWII. A nearly thoughtless meal, its leftover grease was used to lubricate guns and boots for the soldiers around the world. Originating in the U.S., the canned pork skyrocketed to stardom in Hawaii. Its incredibly cheap pricing and ability to substitute more expensive meats have granted it a place on the shelf for decades. While diving straight into a pre-cooked can of slimy spiced pork is entirely possible for someone to do, even SPAM lovers label that act as unforgivable. Sorry, there’s no wiggle room with that one. Either stick to cooking the meat for your Saturday brunch or just buy some that aren’t canned.

Twinkies
For now, we’re going to focus on the grossest Boomer snack food of all: snack cakes. Everyone loves a Hostess product, and Twinkies are the most incredible packed treats. No contest—Twinkies have the best taste of any sweet dessert. Twinkies are harmful, but Boomers don’t seem to care. Hostess was purchased and relaunched, allowing the sugar snack cake to be permanently included in American household food pantries. They never know when they could run out of them.
