    Found a hamdingers can recently. I can't find any others online and kind of curious about it. I do know they look delicious!

      Hamdingers were a short lived meat product produced by the Patrick Cudahy Company out of Cudahy, WI in the mid 70's (they trademarked the name "Hamdinger" in 1976, and that Trademark has expired and is available if you feel the need to own it). The product was sliced ham patties, about the size of a hamburger patty, and it came in a round can. Like Spam, it became a great meat to fry up with some eggs for breafast, but the great thing about Hamdingers is that it came in individually sliced portions, so you could grab a patty and fry it up for that perfect Hamdinger sandwich. Hamdingers became a recurring joke used on the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000, where the product often would be brought up by the cast. In one episode, they found an escape pod in a large box of Hamdingers. The reason nobody ever found it before was that nobody had any desire to open the box. Hamdingers were so short lived, they have sort of become lore, in that there isn't a ton of information about them, but people definitely do remember eating them in the late 70's.
      According to one website, the advertising jingle was as follows: Ham Dingers, Ham Dingers, Ham Burgers made with ham...Ham Dingers Ham Patties, just heat 'em up in a frying pan.
      Ham Dingers, Ham Dingers, Ham Burgers made with ham... Ham Dingers, Ham Patties the best Hamburger you've ever had...Best Ham - burger you've ever had...HAM DINGERS!
