Interested parties (veganuts & veganusians) better put in their reservations for it in advance, just in case there's a mad run on the product.

Hong Kong (CNN)In a brightly lit restaurant in downtown Hong Kong, the meaty smell of fried spam fills the air.
As other staff prepare for the lunchtime rush, a cook is putting the finishing touches to a bowl of instant noodles, egg and spam, a dish so popular and iconic of local cuisine that it has its own shorthand in Cantonese (chaan daan mihn). But this bowl is different: despite being topped with two pink slabs of luncheon meat, it doesn't actually contain any animal products. The "spam" is vegan, a meat-free alternative developed by OmniFoods, a Hong Kong-based food producer and social enterprise. Like its US-based competitors Beyond Meat and Impossible, OmniFoods targets both vegetarians and meat-eaters with its plant-based foods, seeking to provide an ethical alternative that is less-environmentally damaging than meat.

you’re killin me, rubbin it in.
I like Spam but it turns my stomach into a gas factory. I could run a small town off of it.
Spam itself practically qualifies as meat free.
Lay off the kimchee dude... you’ll be OK
My boys, for two. I got ready for Armageddon back in the Carter days and accumulated/hoarded a TON of Spam. One year we took a month-long vacation RVing across the nation when Reagan got in.
I figured that was a great time to use up the Spam, so we had it EVERY DAY. By Week Two, the boys started crying (they were young) when they saw mom break out the can.
To this day, neither of them can stand the stuff. I love it, the original that is. By accident we bought some that were made from turkey. Absolute crap. Looked like Spam but the flavor was WAY off.
I have stocked up on Spam on numerous occasions for prepping purposes, and eventually got quite tired working that inventory down.
Spam is great is small doses IMHO.
