I love that the serving size of Pam is a unit of time
Overview
The meme is a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post. The top line of the post reads 'I love that the serving size of Pam is a unit of time', followed by a close-up photo of a yellow PAM non-stick cooking spray can's nutrition facts label. The label states there are about 558 servings per container, with a serving size defined as 1/4 second spray (0.25g), and 0 calories per serving. Below the photo, a comment from the verified X account 'Never Let Me Go' calculates that 558 individual 1/4 second sprays add up to a total of 2 minutes and 19.5 seconds of usable PAM per can, leaning into the humor of a food product's serving size being measured by time instead of a standard mass or volume unit.
Origin notes
This meme originates from X (formerly Twitter), shared via the RSS feed from X.com:meme.jpg, posted by the verified X page 'Never Let Me Go'. It gained traction for humorously highlighting the unusual, counterintuitive way non-stick cooking spray products list serving sizes as lengths of spray time, with users finding the idea of a can containing a total runtime of product inherently funny.
