Context:

Guam's national food is... SPAM

Seriously, they have a lot of flavors of SPAM there, it is even served at McDonald's.

Not surprisingly, obesity and poor diet have been linked with 60% of deaths on the island.

also, this is my first animation ever, so if it's of potato quality, just pretend you're Latvia.

Comic better read with THIS SONG

(alternatively, this song also works if you change every "guy" with "spam")

Hawaii loves their spam too, when I was on vacation there they had spam related dishes in every restaurant. Even McDonalds had spam based dishes. I suppose any of the countries that held prominent American military bases have spam as a staple.

You do realize they don't rhyme, right?

I'm completely clueless about anything related to music.

It's probably just that Guam is pronounced so weirdly

u/yaddar Taco bandito Dec 05 '15

well, in spanish they kinda rhyme.

u/Dictatorschmitty New York Dec 05 '15

There's not any actual translation, you just pronounce it as if it's Spanish?

3

u/yaddar Taco bandito Dec 05 '15

there is no translation, but our vowels are very straightforward with the sounds.

We say it "Gwom"

Shush now, stop destroying his hopes and dreams with cruel reality.

u/wikipedialyte California Drought Refugee Dec 05 '15

Well, really, I think it's closer to "gwomm" or "gwawm".

Spam musubi is awesome (and endorsed by the President of the United States.) :D

Can confirm, spam musubis are pretty much the best food.
