I could eat a whole can alone as a kid (I even liked the contents!) Two stories I have heard: Years ago a US WWII Vet who served on Guadalcanal told me he would make lemonade by putting lemon drop candies in his metal canteen cup and put it in the sun. It was so hot (115 degrees) the candy would quickly melt and form "lemonade". However, when he opened a can of SPAM the jelly around the "meat" was still solid-like cosmoline. It would probably survive an atomic attack - Makes you proud to be an American!. Also during the war we sent so much SPAM to the Russians as part of our War Aid Program they nicknamed it "The Second Front".
