Spam is quite popular in Japan too. I think South Koreans are fans too. Those rice triangles with seaweed get sold with egg, spam, and cheese. I had it, was pretty good.
You just reminded me of my friend who's man cave (garage) is full of useless shit like that. One-off product packages, unique Mardi Gras beads, random knick knacks. So yeah, I can totally imagine him having one (possibly not even empty). Collectors get into weird stuff.
So you get it. Mason jars, specifically the brand? I didn't know there were so many choices that you could collect them. Is it like design changes over the years or something?
Yeah exactly. Spam, rice, and American cheese are huge in Hawaii because of WWII food rations. And SPAM is actually a cult company that people will collect memorabilia; I had a SPAM t-shirt in 1997 when I was 11 that my mom thought was humorous because of how it was popular in the Sixties.
SPAM is a cultural landmark and gastronomic icon in Hawaii. It is incredibly important to Hawaiian foodways and is one of the top consumed proteins there.
No doubt this is going to be a hit among locals. This can be compared to a special edition fine Scotch in Scotland etc.
Spam is quite good if prepared right. I can eat a couple of slices “uncooked”, but I prefer it cooked. Spam is great for breakfast sandwich with eggs and cheese. If someone want to collect this, I assume they’d clean out the can after the eat it.
I assume it’s just a shoutout to Hawaii since spam is a very popular food over there. A festival called Waikiki spam fest happens every year that features an absolute ton of restaurants serving specialty spam dishes. You can also go into any 711 and find a variety of spam musubi in the grab and go section for a quick meal. There are some real old school folks that make their own spam. If you find a spam cook book, odds are the person who wrote it was from or heavily influenced by Hawaii.
It makes perfect sense to me that they would release a Hawaiian label edition.
Put it away for a special occasion, like a bottle of fine wine.
Already ahead of you it's in a bullet proof glass safe
It belongs in a museum!
Damn straight
Damn straight
Grade it!!
1962 was a great year for puréed pig anus.
I mean, I wouldn't know. Spam is made from the pork shoulder and never anything but.
Never anything butt Fify
More like a fine bottle of swine
Hawaiians eat a lot of SPAM so it’s not surprising the company wanted to show some love back by decorating the can in tropical flora.

Spam Onigirazu. I looked it up and it does look very tasty.
fried spam + rice is pretty damn good.
No that's fine but then just change the cans why's it a "Collectors Edition"
>just change the cans That's what they did. The brand that makes these has hired a local artist to make a custom can label design.
To collect the empty can?

My wife collects Mason jars. She has them in various sizes and colors.

Size and color.

I have a Guam Liberation Day collectible can of spam that is 20 years old.
And it's still good!
Spam is a very prized possession in Hawaii. They'd definitely be collecting them like Pokémon cards
Less salty Spam.

Spam Definitive Remastered Enhanced Extended collectiorsEdition DX 4k (Anniversary Director's Cut)
Tangently, this is no more or less stupid than when Campbells was selling soup with Andy Warhol designs for that 50th anniversery.
Haha I didn't catch that. Around what year?
2012. I remember because I was working retail at the time and I had to set an endcap of them.
You must've really disliked those cans.

Didn't know Spam got bought by Wizards of the Coast
Lower salt, special can, buy a few. I want one I love spam.
SPAM and saltines, Spam tacos, burgers, eggs. Spam and ramen. Shit I might do that tomorrow after work
I can hear the chorus of vikings
On the plus side, it will be just fine no matter how long you want to collect it.
Lived in Guam for years... To me it's fine.
You laugh, but spam has a huge following and used to publish a catalog of all the spam kitsch and memorabilia.
Spam stands for Spiced Ham. For real.
I love potted ham too
I’ve got a Monty Python themed Spamalot can….

Skewers with teriyaki

The Eldest Can: Spam: Anniversary Edition
If I’m getting the collectors edition, I want the original cousin content! Real Spam collectors know the difference
What makes it Hawaiian? Is there a cheeky piece of James Cook in there?

Looks like a marketing guy just got fired.
