Umm, I don't think so. Spam is hugely popular in Hawaii (goes back to WWII) and other places, but it was invented by Mr. Hormel, probably in Minnesota.
My list:
Rubik's Cube
Apple Computers
Atari
Fiber Optics
Polaroid Cameras
Chia Pets
The Clapper
Looked it up and yes in 1937 SPAM was introduced by Hormel.
It is produced in Hawaii as well as Ireland, Australia, Germany.
Sorry for the miss information.
My list.
1. Me 1971
2. My wife 1975
3. Parachute pants
4. Members only jackets
5. Atari
