"Just rip and tear your way to CRAZY TASTY town!"

If you click on this picture, you can read the caption on the upper right hand corner of this individually wrapped serving of SPAM. It is definitely one of the funniest pieces of copy I've ever seen on a food product. Where the hell is Crazy Tasty town anyway? It sounds like a place that serves a lot of snack food. And there are probably a bunch of annoying teens there, playing arcade games after school with that Chester Cheeto cat.

I can't help but think that the makers of SPAM are playing on the ironic appeal of their product. "Ha, this food is so shitty, isn't it actually funny that I'm eating it!" Guess what buddy, jokes on you.
