Of course canned spinach is still available.  I'm not sure who buys it 
but someone must.  I remember my mom telling me when my oldest brother 
was a little boy he insisted she buy some canned spinach.  He bought 
into the whole cartoon image of canned spinach making you strong.  She 
tried to warn him but he insisted.  Naturally, he hated it.
