3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 19

SPAM Hot Honey has begun rolling out at select U.S. grocery retailers as Hormel’s first permanent addition to the brand’s lineup in two years.
Hormel said the launch is meant to capture fast-growing demand for hot honey and other “swicy” sweet-and-spicy flavors, adding a new option to SPAM’s more than 10 permanent varieties.
Win Son Bakery in Brooklyn and Manhattan is promoting the product through Sept. 20 with two limited-time items, including a breakfast sandwich and a fan tuan sticky rice roll.
Consumer reaction was mixed, with some fans saying they try every new SPAM flavor while others said they prefer the original or are tired of the hot honey trend.
The release extends a nearly 90-year-old brand introduced in 1937 that has sold more than 9 billion cans worldwide.
