    Pacific Islanders are crazy about Spam. I believe it comes from WWII. But they have all kinds of Spam recipes and they’re way into it, so good for Hormel.

      With the same idea country music is surprisingly very popular in some bar of the Caribbean island of St Lucia. But only country music from the 40-50s era.

      As you can guess there was a US military base on the island around this period. The military left but people continued to play the same music in the bars.
