No one’s gonna say it? Fuck it i guess it’s my time.
They’re literally spamming Maui!
The term spamming actually traces back to the food spam.
That’s exactly why it’s so perfeçt
SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM X 100
Low sodium spam chopped into cubes and fried until crispy are absolutely delicious. I don’t know why people have such an aversion to it.
Spam is fucking glorious. I used to eat it out of the can when I walked cross country a few years ago. It is SO high in fat but so delicious
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The makers of Spam, saying that their “special relationship with the Hawaiian community spans decades,” have donated over 264,000 cans to aid the disaster-relief efforts on Maui, the company said in a press release.
“In all, the Spam brand has donated cash and product with a retail value of more than $1,000,000 to directly help those impacted by the wildfires.”
The company said it has partnered with nonprofit group Convoy of Hope to get the cans to where they are needed most.
“The fact that Spam doesn’t need refrigeration makes it a perfect item for Convoy to deliver to survivors,” Stacy Lamb, vice president, disaster services at Convoy of Hope, is quoted as saying in the press release.
It’s stacked on a block of rice and wrapped in seaweed to make Spam musubi, and sold at fast-food chains like McDonald’s in Hawaii.
Spam was first introduced to Asia-Pacific during World War II, a welcome substitute to meat that was increasingly becoming unaffordable or simply unavailable in the conflict-wracked region.

First the fire and now this?! Oh poor them.
Don’t worry, Hawaiians love the stuff.
Hawaiians eat Spam like the rest of us drink water.
Ever been to Hawaii? Spam is worshipped there
“beloved”

When I lived on the big island, even McDonald’s had spam options on their menu.
When I lived there rice with fried spam eggs and shoyu was a staple. And also delicious.
It’s a huge part of their culture believe it or not
And it’s absolutely delicious when cooked right
Believe it or not, Hawaii actually does like SPAM! It goes back to the military presence on the islands during WWII where it gained cultural significance.
So you mean to say they spammed the canned food to Maui?
It feels weird to define “truckloads” of product to be sent to islands
The same 20f container goes from truck to ship to truck once more.
I agree. Buttload is a lot more appropriate.
A lot of people here are deeply unaware of how much spam is a staple of the local diet there. This would be like if some company donated avocados to San Diego, shrimp to New Orleans, or sweet tea to Charlotte. And it’s shelf stable which is an extra bonus there.
You can also eat it straight out of the can.
The good kind of spam.
They do like spam musubi
This is inhumane. Nobody deserves that shit.
Yeah, they should have brought rice and pineapples with it. Ooh, and some sweet and sour sauce
Yes. Just give them real food. Not sewer meat.
Spam is just pork and ham mixed with some salt and sugar, I don’t see how that’s not “real food”, people all over the planet have eaten those things as food for thousands of years before someone had the audacity to …put it in a can for convenient distribution.
reasons
You mean real food, not dead animals
Do not associate yourself with me, rodent.

Hormel makes tons of products.
Because the ethical move would be to stop existing and make shelf space for real food.
Yay let’s destroy the climate more in response to climate-exacerbated natural disasters!

Someone hasn’t had good spam musubi.
Fuck me id kill for some Spam musubi right now
This is the correct answer.
Non-Hawaiians just do not understand how to handle Spam
The fact it’s on almost every menu at local establishments and fast food speaks volumes of its popularity in Hawaii.
It’s great as a filler when used sparingly. Not so great when you just eat the whole cube straight from the can other than maybe the first time you try it.
You mean to tell me that properly cooked food tastes better than unproperly cooked food?
God dammit Gump, you’re a god damn genius!
It’s great fried as a patty! Like in musubi
The saltiness is why that little can feeds a whole family when you mix it with a lot of carbs and/or veggies and/or fruit.
That’s pretty smart when you think about it. Cans of spam last a while and are highly stackable. A truckload would be a pretty big amount
They can build walls of spam to protect against the fire
