"I’m sorry that Doctor Jones has been… well, detained while doing, umm, research.
But don’t worry, his classes will be taught by the university’s top men. Top. Men."
There was a Popeye brand of canned spinach on sale when I was in grade school. I must have been in fourth or fifth grade when I finally got to try it after nagging my mother to buy some. I took a forkful and spit it out immediately, thinking it was the vilest thing possible.
Of course, I like canned spinach now, just as long as it’s incorporated into something like an omelet or lasagna. Fresh spinach I’ll eat too if its smothered in olive oil 
and garlic.
Never saw that, but I do remember “Pop-I” bagged spinach in the produce section when I was younger. No passing off the intellectual property there, right? Well, kinda, I guess, but maybe not worth it.
That is tasty! Maybe add some crumbled feta cheese to that. That’s what I do.
Just about any salty cheese will do, from Feta to Parmesan.
This is what I remember having. Allen’s apparently still produces it.
Oh gosh. Allen’s. I don’t think I ever ate their canned spinach, but they were a famous brand in Canada for canned and bottled juice. I think every morning up until I was 11 or 12, Mom made sure that Sis and I had a glass of Allen’s apple juice at breakfast. (Hint: Mix it with 7-Up later in the day for a nice carbonated apple drink.)
Thanks for that. I cannot find any images of “Pop-I” spinach, but I do remember it in the produce section.

A tribe of cannibals has captured the hero and is preparing to cook him alive in a giant metal stewpot. Where did they get the stewpot?
I wonder who first popularized the big pot? I’m gonna guess a cartoonist for something like Puck. It’s been in every media.
Depending on the game show, they may be encouraged not to answer immediately. I’m thinking of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, for instance. If the contestant just answered every question immediately, the show would be much shorter.
I expect you’re right that contestants were instructed to drag things out a bit. Deal or no Deal would have been a very different show if everyone involved would just get on with it, already.
Now THAT makes a lot more sense than all those cans of frozen orange juice concentrate with a big Donald Duck head on them.
What, just because they’re cannibals they can’t know metalworking?
They’re cannibals, but they have a giant cooking vessel business. Who do you think supplies the US military?
From Missionaries?
Harbor Freight? Canadian Tire?
Is the pot necessarily metal? Might be clay.
The oldest literary reference I know of to cannibals’ large cooking pots is She by H. Rider Haggard.
Walmart!
Wouldn’t stewing him lose all the flavor? You’d think they’d bury in a charcoal pit under wet leaves, luau style.
Maybe they thought roasting him over a fire on a slowly rotating spit would be too much of a cliché.
Incidentally, such giant pots were made for the purpose of scalding hogs: dipping them briefly in boiling water so as to remove the hair and bristles from the hide.
