HONOLULU (KHON2) — As weird as it may sound, Oahu is the only place in the world where you can buy Hawaii’s favorite canned meat from a vending machine.
Visitors, residents and especially SPAM lovers should check out the SPAM vending machine installed at the Honolulu Pawn Shop in Kakaako.
Not only can people see the only SPAM vending machine in the world, but they also have the opportunity to snag a collector’s edition of SPAM cans.
Artist Kamea Hadar designed the cans and featured Hawaii’s state flower, the yellow hibiscus, alongside Maui’s official flower, a lokelani rose, to honor the people of Maui.
“You know, you grow up eating SPAM and it’s kind of like one of your comfort foods,” Hadar explained. “One of the staples here in Hawaii but to me, that was one of the most exciting collaborations that I’ve ever been approached to do.”
The vending machine is just one place to get your hands on a can. The limited edition cans are available wherever SPAM is sold.
