Yeah, you pull the pin and run. In 5 seconds, an explosion of angry bears pops out of the can. Hungry polars, angry Kodiacs and grumpy grizzlies. They pack a few female black bears in who've lost their cubs just for completeness (they fit into places where other bears can't get to). The problem with bear spray is that sometimes you can get a grizzly stuck in the nozzle, and the hole can just rolls around on the floor growling. These duds still produce a pretty good distraction and allow you to get away.

backpacker.com Two geologists were doing a regional mapping survey and the helicopter put them down in a new area. As soon as the chopper left a big black bear came up the hill to check them out. The male geologist unpacked the bear spray, aimed and when he fired it blew back in his face. The lady geologist took off and climbed a tree. The bear was so frightened by the guy rolling around on the ground screaming he split to. Black bears, especially young ones are curious and will follow you around in the bush. You can chase them off with a broom, you don't really need bear spray.
