retrophilia (ret troh FEE lee uh) n. 1 An intense attraction for things of the past. 2 a weekly series for popsucker wherin the irrepressible Wootini reveals the horrors of the past to the present to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
Yeah, this "twosome" will serve a crowd, but to be honest with you, I don't think any of them will speak to you afterwards! I had to crop out what was in the dish, but if you think you have a strong stomach, make the jump!

I mean, could you imagine anything less appetizing? Hm. How to make SPAM more appetizing? Why not mix it up with some baked beans! That's the ticket! If your stomach doesn't explode after eating this, then you're not human.
"Tops for serving at parties and after bowling or dancing"? If I saw this at a party, I wouldn't go near it. But I suppose serving it after bowling or dancing would be better than serving it beforehand! Still, I love the way they specified bowling as a specific fun-time activity for you and your "gang." And the description of the casserole as "a great glamorous way to enjoy the juicy goodness of SPAM." If there was one word I never thought I'd ever see associated with SPAM, it's "glamorous!"
I'm not even going to re-type the recipe for you here because I don't want to be responsible for any of our readers' gastro-intestinal distress. If you're that much of a culinary masochist, you can read it yourself in the image. You're on your own!

Did "glamorous" mean something different back in the day this ad came out?
Ugh!
