Not a meme, not a myth...they really love spam in Hawaii, they even have a spam festival on Oahu. You must have not have been hanging with the locals much. I grew up on Maui and a very common breakfast was Spam, Rice and Eggs. Dakine ono grinds brah

[DrJosh]

Well to be fair, there are spam festivals all over the country.

I'm not doubting that people eat it. I'm just saying in my experience, I haven't seen it served in any caliber of restaurants/food trucks, nor prominently displayed in grocery stores. Granted most of the time I've spent has been in Kailua, and only a few months at that.

Spam is especially popular in the state of Hawaii, where residents have the highest per capita consumption in the United States. Its perception there is very different from on the mainland.

A popular native sushi dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, where cooked Spam is placed atop rice and wrapped in a band of nori, a form of onigiri. Varieties of Spam are found in Hawaii that are unavailable in other markets, including Honey Spam, Spam with Bacon, and Hot and Spicy Spam.

Hawaiian Burger King restaurants began serving Spam in 2007 to compete with the local McDonald's chains. In Hawaii, Spam is so popular that it is sometimes referred to as "The Hawaiian Steak".

There is even an annual Spam-themed festival on the island of Oahu that takes place every spring, known as the "Waikiki Spam Jam. Local chefs and restaurants compete to create new Spam-themed dishes, which are then sold in a massive street fair on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki.
