In fact, they’re made in California.

“King’s Hawaiian has been known as the most authentic purveyor of its eponymous Hawaiian rolls,” Long Island attorney Spencer Sheehan, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of a Yonkers man and others, told The Post on Tuesday.

They would be 4 times the cost due to airfreight, would taste more like blue cheese due to mold, or come frozen.
