Spam may keep for years but NOT IN PULL TOP LIDS.

WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK THESE CANNING COMPANIES HAVE GONE TO PULL TOP CANS?  THEY JUST WON'T KEEP AS LONG AS COMPLETELY SEALED CANS.

I might be willing to concede that the pull top seals might not last 40 years, but sealed is sealed.  The pull top is not any more or less sealed than the key and strip model of the past, and the can opener style can that came before that.  I'll set one aside and let you know in 40 years.

Mark it on your callendar and come back here December 20, 2052.  Unless it all ends tomorrow.  In which case I'll be pissed I bought all that fucking Spam.

I had a box of pull top chicken chunks that didn't last 2 years. They were stacked 3 cans high and most of the cans had residue around the seal when I pulled them out. The residue smelled like chicken. When I opened them some were mostly dry. Obviously I threw it all out even though it all surprisingly still smelled "right".

That's what i like about Spam, it's nice and dry.  Canned chicken is way too watery.  You should have tried it.  Drying that shit out might have made it edible.

Original Message I finished the last of mine in about 2006. After tomorrow I'll be doing it all over again.
