SPAM
Pressed meat loaf
SPAM is the trademarked styling used by Hormel Foods for their canned meat product.
The company has defended this capitalization to distinguish their product from lowercase spam meaning junk email.
In practice, most people write it as Spam. (Lowercase spam is unsolicited bulk messaging.)
