    eat more Spam in Hawaii then in any other US state and it’s been the
    popular since it was first introduced during the Second World War.

    But now a rival brand, Tulip from Denmark, is trying to unseat it as undisputed
    king of canned luncheon meats.

    The special edition cans feature a picture of a hula doll on both sides
    and have been made the feature of special 6ft displays in local grocery
    stores.

    Meanwhile, local McDonald’s restaurants in Hawaii have rolled out Spam
    McGriddles as a new breakfast offering for islanders.

      Whoa is this true?

      Your story on Ananova points to an unrelated one on the NY Times.

      Is this some kind of test?

      Of course its true! Would the Dowbrigade lie to its readers? (retorical question). The link in the headline was correct, just forgot to change the one at the foot of the article. Thanks for the Head’s Up!
