Popular is a bit of an understatement. When I worked as a Resetter for the chain, the Hawaiian stores actually specify an entire isle dedicated to SPAM. If you've ever seen the size of Safeway stores, this works out to be something like 30 or more feet of shelf space. :dizzy: The most I've ever seen in the lower 48 is something like 6 (or is it 8, can't remember) feet of shelving dedicated to SPAM.

Probably because they have to import most of the meats, and the high shipping costs
are passed on to the customers. Spam being much cheaper... then becomes much
more of an option, especially when you are on a very tight budget.
From what I hear recently from a woman who went there on vacation... the rising
fuel cost have hit them really hard. Much more so than others. Tourism is
their main income.. and many people are not traveling there... As well as the
increase in import (fuel) charges.

spam, treet, potted meat is a hunters and hikers MUST have item. and crackers
also Here in Kentucky we have bad winter ice storms and tornado / wind storms in spring I keep this stuff in my old navy sea bag as emergency kit for power outages.
once a year we replace or emergency storage
spam and other stuff like it has a shelf life of a rock.

You can get this nice range-fed Brazillian sirloin (or something) roast in a can at Trader Joe's. They have good tongol tuna, too. If you're gonna plan for cataclysm, make sure you eat in some style.
