Harry said how the Spam lollies should be placed into the freezer – a hack to cool down any Spam fans who want to enjoy sunny weather.

Harry, believed to be from Andover, Hampshire, captioned his post: “This is the main reason to buy this stuff.

“Pop them in the freezer and enjoy a nice refreshing meatsicle on a hot summers day.”

Spam is a canned cooked pork product that has been stocked on shelves since 1937 – gaining widespread popularity after being used during World War 2.

It was not only eaten by soldiers during the Second World War but also used to grease guns and scrap metal. 

Spam’s name has also been adopted for the name of unwanted electronic messages, in particular spam email.
