King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls are not Hawaiian enough, a new lawsuit charges.

The class-action suit, filed Friday in Manhattan federal court, accuses the maker of the popular baked products of defrauding consumers by suggesting they’re still made in the Aloha State.

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.

“Unfortunately, they’re labeling gives consumers the impression that it’s made in Hawaii,” he said. “It’s not.”

The lawsuit, which names Yonkers resident Robert Galinsky as the chief plaintiff,

You think wonderbread comes out of one single giant bakery? Umm no. They have local bakers in all the major cities.

And does it make sense to ship all the necessary ingredients for King rolls to Hawaii, and then ship the finished product back?

You’d never buy any because they’d cost too much.

People are so stupid.

There’s a pack of Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls on our Charlotte, NC kitchen counter right now. Never did I believe KH flew it in from Hawaii and loaded it on the bread racks at Sam’s Club.

I also don’t believe Aunt Jemima is in some backroom mixing up pancake mix and pouring it into a box for me to buy at the grocery store.

And this here cheese I’m eating isn’t made in Cheddar, England. Never mind this other cheese with holes in it not being from Switzerland . . .

And Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, isn't even from Venezuela nor made of Beavers.

“Champagne not from Champagne France?”

Under French AOC laws, a sparkling wine can only be labeled champagne if it comes from the Champagne region. This of course doesn’t apply outside France.

“Foster (”Australian for beer”) not made in Australia?”

I don’t know if this is still the case, but at one time the Foster’s (Astrayan for Budweiser) sold in the US was brewed in Canada.
