For a product that gets canned in Minnesota, always wondered why the
highest per capita consumption is in Hawaii?

It goes back to WWII when the soldiers introduced Spam to the locals. It
took off from there and has been a favorite since. You can even get it in
McDonalds and Burger King. They also have different varieties such as Bacon
Spam and Honey Spam. The fact that it is a meat easily stored with no
refrigeration helped too. In much of the Pacific, power was non-existent or
unreliable.
