Here is a couple pictures of a can opener that I promised to post in some other thread, which I cannot find:

I saw one of those can openers taped to the side of a tin of Wolf ammo last time I was in Cabelas in Rogers MN. Recently the Wolf ammo in Cabelas has been for sale in the sardine cans.

That's the standard opener used on all com-bloc spam cans. It actually works pretty well once you get the hang of it.

 

[svt-40]

Oh, yes, big time! I do not stock magic supplies

 

[gunnoob]

I tried and could not open it. I just took a sledgehammer to it and heard a bang. Then I saw a Iroc-Z spin out on to my parents lawn...??

Hope your parents are alright, (and might I add, dump your underpants, skid marks are better dumped then cleaned)

I put a 6" ratchet extension through the rings, stood on the box and pulled. It peeled open pretty easily that way.

Cheers!

This is what I did except I used vise grips. Good Luck, it's on there really good.

I DON'T LIKE SPAM!

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

No one does.

I'm sure there's some sort of industrial use for Spam/Klik/Kam/Pleck/Splek/Fluk or whatever else it's called, but it's not actually for human consumption.

Perhaps it's a wound dressing or something.

 

[DaveMachine]

Random question: What's that white powder you see them dump into a wound in movies like saving private ryan?

 

[canucklehead]

Sulphur powder.

 

[DaveMachine]

Sulphur powder.

Second Random Question: What does it do?

 

[canucklehead]

Heh heh, I've been googling, but don't know yet. My guess is that it's a coagulation agent. Maybe it's for infection?

 

[trubluscrew]

I believe that sulphur is an antibiotic and anti-fungal. Sulphur was given in place as an antibiotic before the introduction of penicillian.

Gents:

I believe (said the smartarse) that it's actually sulfa powder:

Damn, you beat me! sulpa was an early form of antibiotic.

Oh , uses for spam. In the book "Tommies" by Holmes, he recounts how several areas back from the front but still very muddy had walkways "paved" in spam (still in the can of course). So it is good for something

SPAM kept allied armies moving in WW2. We owe our freedom to SPAM.

In fact, every time you eat SPAM, it sorta makes you a re-enactor.
