Roy Summers mailed his brother 18 tins of SPAM-like meat for a fiftieth birthday, then turned the joke into a photo archive: six views of every rectangular can, plus the meat itself. The collection eventually passed 100 products and became a family memorial. The filing system gained an extra zero before the cans ran out.
