You are more likely to be killed by a flying Champagne cork than to be killed by a poisonous spider.

Are you tired of spam?
The word for the unwanted item comes from the food of the same name, which was especially prevalent during World War II.
Spam was produced by swine shoulders mixed with e.g ham, potato starch, salt and sugar and was used by the US Army as a cheap meal.
When the cans were sent to Europe as part of auxiliary packages, they, like the unwanted spam in the inbox, could not be bypassed, and eventually became unpopular.
