My brother and I spent about 8 years giving each other a can of Spam for Chrismas. Yes, that's the same one can of Spam. One year, I exepected to get the can of Spam (I had given it to him the previous year) ... and did not.

He had eaten it earlier that December in a snow-storm.

He reported it being no different from a fresh can of Spam.

FWIW.

Did you follow it with the 25-year-old fruitcake? :)

As much salt as many of those cans of meats (spam, ham, etc.) have, they will last 200+ years or until the salt eats through the metal cans.
