How long does it take spam to go bad?

Specifically... if left unrefrigerated. I know I know. I'm a poor college student. And I forgot about it 2 nights ago. It doesn't look uh... decomposed in any way. Should I try eating it?

I'm assuming it's out of the can...um...if you can heat it pretty thouroughly, it's probably ok to eat. I take no responsibility if you're ill later though.

Hmm... not worth the risk I guess. It's just one night. I have some cookies I guess.

I think there still waiting for some from the original batch to go bad so they can establish a timeline...

I've had spam in my inbox for years. It still looks the same as the day I received it, so I'm guessing it probably never goes bad.

2 nights with no refridgeration? Its trashed. Its meat dude... meat - cold = spoiled

BTW, Spam is not techinically cheap by any means. If your a "poor college student: start choking down those Ramen noodles.

At least 5% of Spam is real meat. Besides, real ham doesn't have that jellied goodness.

I love spam, but that was my first thought as well. :D

And I agree about the ramen noodles... it's not just a legend that poor college students live on that stuff. For variation, I often got a pound of ham and turkey and threw together sandwiches for a week at a time.
