Charlotte was named tops in Spam consumption.
In 1988 Heinz ranked us No. 1 in catsup.
In 1991 Van Camp gave us the title of “Beanee Weenee Capital of the World,” and we retired the trophy for basse cuisine.

When the “manliness” rankings were annouced in the paper Minneapolis/St. Paul (Minneapolis was pretty far down at #27), Charlotte’s victory was attributed to “overabundance of NASCAR and drag racing tracks, NHRA events, bowling, fishing, steak houses, hardware stores and sports bars.” (according the City Pages here in the Twin Cities)

Personally, I think the manliness rating must have something to do with Charlotte being rumored to have the highest per-capita ketchup consumption of any city in the world!
