Spam is very popular in Hawaii and in Guam. It was first introduced to these areas after World War II when American G.I.'s were stationed there. It was economically impossible to have fresh meat shipped to Guam and Hawaii so the U.S. sent rations of Spam. Spam is so popular in Hawaii that the local Burger Kings began selling Spam sandwiches in 2007 and soon surpassed McDonalds in sales.
