This 'Perfect Collab' Has Fans Racing to Sam's Club to Stock Up on a Uniquely Hawaiian Pantry Staple
With the live-action version of Lilo & Stitch set to hit theaters on May 23, you can imagine the buzz of excitement present among fans. And while the franchise has taught viewers about Hawaiian culture and its value of 'ohana'—family, acceptance and love—we're here to talk about something else near and dear to Hawaiians hearts: SPAM.
On April 30, SPAM (the canned processed meat that first hit shelves in 1937) released three limited-edition cans in partnership with Disney ahead of the premiere of the movie. Each of the 'Experiment 626-approved' cans features the classic SPAM logo and accompanying blue and gold color tones paired with a cresting wave of plumeria flowers and Stitch playfully placed beneath them.
😋😋🍳🍔If you're thinking to yourself, 'SPAM as a collectors item seems kind of weird,' well, you're certainly not alone. But if you have been on the hunt for this uniquely Hawaiian collection and haven't secured at least one of the three cans for yourself, Sam's Club is currently selling 8-packs of SPAM Classic for just $23.88.
'Lilo & Stitch Spam Classic at Sam's Club,' @samsclubfavorites announced to fans online. 'This limited edition 8-pack features collectible cans inspired by the Lilo & Stitch movie!'
That's right, at just under $3 a can, you can start whipping up your own homemade SPAM creations while waiting patiently for the new movie to premiere. Whether you're making spam musubi's, spam empanadas, eggs and spam or spam nachos, this is one collectors item we'd say is worth eating right away.'Perfect collab,' one person wrote in response to @mnmtwinz who also recently posted about the release. 'Looks like they made canned Stitch,' another teased.
All jokes aside, this adorable collaboration has got to be our favorite part of the movie's recent marketing campaign and we can't wait to get our hands on a can (or 8). Just remember, Sam's Club only has the Classic version in stock, so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled elsewhere for the other limited-edition cans to complete the collection.
