Ok, up until I was like 14 or 15 I believed that spam was whale meat. It was only when Mum and I were shopping and we came into the aisle and I said "I don't think they should be allowed to sell whale meat, aren't they protected species?" My mum burst out laughing and didn't stop until we got home, then she told everyone and they still laugh at me if it comes up in conversation.
