Burger King ignites Spam war with rival

[sleipnira]

Hoping to cash in on Hawaii's love affair with the pinkish meat product, Burger King Corp. last month began offering Spam for breakfast — going head-to-head with rival McDonald's Corp., which has been featuring Spam in the islands for years.

Burger King is offering the Spam Platter — two slices of Spam nestled between white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.

6th Annual Waikiki Spam® Jam
April 26, 2008

The Waikiki Spam® Jam is a street festival that celebrates the people
of Hawaii's love for Spam®, a canned meat from Hormel Foods. In Hawaii,
you will find Spam® at all grocery and convenience stores, many restaurants
and in most homes in Hawaii.

This street festival is great for all ages, as the event includes Hawaii's top
restaurants, two stages with free entertainment,and a variety of Hawaiian
crafters. This is also a special event that benefits the Hawaii Food Bank, the
largest non-profit in Hawaii that feeds the needy.
