612. George A. Hormel became an unfortunate workplace accident victim in one of the infamous 19th century Chicago slaughterhouses. He never founded his eponymous multinational food processing company. As a result, American G.I.s in the Second World War came to rely on (and, in equal measure loathe) a completely different processed pork shoulder product, known as Oscar Meyer's Hamsh. The follow-on cultural effects included a slightly different Monty Python sketch and an alternate term for unwanted electronic communications.
