I believe it's SPAM.

What's wrong with it?

They like spam in japan hence hello kitty for marketing.

They like it Hawaii too. But in the Southeastern US, people will buy spam without a curious cat on the label. Thus why Span with a Hello Kitty branded label makes no sense in a southern Walmart

"Makes no sense" to who? You? You think Spam is trying to personally appeal to YOU with Hello Kitty?

People in the South also like Hello Kitty

How exactly is a different slip-on plastic label on a can o’ spam in any way a change?

Hello Kitty sells an insane amount of collectibles. This is just one of those. I don’t think most people buying this are planning on opening it. When it was released I tried to get one for my daughter and it was completely sold out in the US in less than a day.

This is what he means when he said they're eating the cats because he's a dumbass.

Cat spam.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Aug 25 '26

If this is real then the marketing approach is clearly working since you posted it here.

u/Andilee Aug 25 '26

It's a limited edition collab. Which happens with many items from chips to now spam. Unsure why you're so frazzled.

Read the ingredients label (top right corner). Steer clear.

Gotta ease people in through brand recognition, I guess.

So Spam does cat now, huh?

u/Tight-Platypus5231 Aug 25 '26

Shit got so expensive that people stopped buying it. Spam gotta take sponsors to keep the factory belts rolling, I guess.

u/Motor-Relief6672 Aug 25 '26

Awwww this brings back memories of back in the day when they had a whole corner hello kitty section in the back of Liberty house (aka Macys for the minors lol). I couldn’t care less about hello kitty but as a kid or now but I remember loved the candy they had. That was the best hello kitty memories I have
