LeroyJenkins, Let’s denote the prices of the components as follows:
Egg: ( E )
Bacon: ( B )
Sausage: ( S )
Spam: ( P )
We are given the following equations based on the prices of the combinations:
( E + B = 1.10 )
( E + S + B = 1.49 )
( E + P = 1.50 )
( E + P + B = 2.10 )
( E + P + S + B = 2.49 )
First, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:
[ (E + S + B) - (E + B) = 1.49 - 1.10 ]
[ S = 0.39 ]
Next, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 4:
[ (E + P + B) - (E + B) = 2.10 - 1.10 ]
[ P = 1.00 ]
Next, subtract Equation 3 from Equation 5:
[ (E + P + S + B) - (E + P) = 2.49 - 1.50 ]
[ S + B = 0.99 ]
We already know from a previous calculation that ( S = 0.39 ), so substitute ( S ) in:
[ 0.39 + B = 0.99 ]
[ B = 0.60 ]
Now we know ( B ) and can find ( E ) from Equation 1:
[ E + 0.60 = 1.10 ]
[ E = 0.50 ]
We have found the prices:
Egg (( E )) = 0.50
Bacon (( B )) = 0.60
Sausage (( S )) = 0.39
Spam (( P )) = 1.00

dejected_warp_core, While not the same, I bet lobster tacos are pretty tasty.
kittenzrulz123, But I don’t want any spam
Psythik, Well that just makes ordering simple for you because you only have two options.
Socsa, They got the joke wrong though
Heavybell, 
That last one sounds pretty good.
CluckN, This image is so old I thought the joke was how good the prices were.
Hadriscus, seriously, 35 bucks gets you half a bigmac these days
Jiggle_Physics, It isn’t that out of touch with contemporary prices. Maybe 10 years at most, as a lot of the cost increase has been the past 5 years. Doesn’t mean the image isn’t older, just commenting on the price here.
A current restaurant serving Lobster Thermidor costs about 55$. While any place serving this dish is likely a high quality restaurant, it’s not until one obtains a michelin star that it becomes a 3 digit affair.
KISSmyOSFeddit, I love the fact that the term Spam for unwanted emails comes from the Monty Python skit.
Kowowow, I want this menu as a poster for my wall
Klear, It would go nicely with my clock:

crazyCat, That’s a very nice clock. Only legs move, not arms?
Klear, Of course. It’s Ministry of Silly Walks, not Silly Flailing Arms About.
OrnateLuna, Gotta send a 24h timelaps of the clock
Klear, Dunno about a timelapse but here’s the current state:

ElmarsonTheThird, My thoughts exactly. We’re already two, so there’s a market. Someone exploit our demand!
aeronmelon, 🎶 “Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam,
*Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam…”*🎵
MrPommeroy, 🎼 Lovely spaaaam, wonderful spam! 🎵
niktemadur, 🎵 Spam de spam
de spammety spam… 🎵
disguy_ovahea, In case anyone else feels the need to rewatch the bit after seeing this:
Hobbes_Dent, I’m sitting at work right now hungry. About half an hour ago I looked in my backup food supply and find only two things - instant mashed potatoes and Spam.
I think this is a sign. I mean, the picture is a sign.
Problem is I like my Spam like blackened on the outside which may piss off my partner.
TotallynotJessica, 
I like my spam not in my stomach
Maco1969, 
Spam croquettes!
Rusty, You can cook one blackened and the other brown, so you can have a “Spam, mashed potatoes and Spam” for lunch.
psud, Scorched spam is good spam. Goes well with fried pineapple rings
(That should annoy enough people)
