No doubt from SPAM, a registered trademark of Hormel. This in turn is rumored to be a contraction of "spiced ham." If you were using the term correctly you would realize that your imaginary 747 is also technically a spam can. I was using the term tin can, meaning a light, flimsy, primitive aircraft.
