qazwsx38 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 These look pretty good. Has anyone ever tasted a Teddy's Bigger Burger? No, but I heard some good things about Teddys Bigger Burgers from friends still in Hawaii. I will try to check it out when I go back to Hawaii next April for my annual visit back home to Hawaii.

And just why the he!! is Spam so popular in Hawaii? "According to the SPAM website, the island's love affair with Spam began in World War II, when GIs were served the salty luncheon meat because it didn't require refrigeration and had a long shelf life. The Hormel Corporation, which manufactures Spam, provided 15 million cans to Allied troops every week. Between 1941 and 1945, Hormel had shipped over 100 million pounds overseas."

Of course, many US GIs spent a lot of time in Korea during that famous war, so I guess its popularity there is for the same reason as Hawaii. But I guess we should be careful not to hijack this thread and turn it into a Spam discussion. We wouldn't want to interfere with Teddy's free advertising.

If your taste buds are twitching you can find it in Tops Supermarkets, Spam, Spam Lite and Hickory Smoked Spam ! Still waiting for Chang flavoured to tempt the local market.

I wouldn't exactly say that my taste buds are twitching for the stuff, and I'll probably only think about it again when I see this thread, but did you know there are now one dozen varieties of Spam, including jalepeno and terriaki? I think these guys want to make it the official global mystery meat. BTW, did you notice the price of a can of Spam at Tops. I bet it's very expensive. I remember seeing an imported can of some pasta with tomato sauce in one of the stores for about 170 baht. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Canned pasta has got to be one of the most disgusting foods in the world. I was thinking that you couldn't pay me the 170 baht to eat it let alone pay that much for it.

DrLom Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Any resemblance between the advertising photos and the delivered product is purely coincidental. If they're the advertising photos, Lord help everybody. They make me feel like puking. Agree the stuff looks absolutely revolting. I'm still trying to work it out: Onions sliced to nano-millimetre thickness, beef that's black (and way over cooked, or even burnt), the cheapest lettuce one can find (and not chilled, iceberg lettuce), and as for what those chips (french-fries) with burnt, crappy ends are supposed to be I have no idea. Bland, and cheap materials, plus awful cooking and as for that bun (bread) - cold and yeasty looking - well it just doesn't add up. Then again, it does, fast junk food - full of too many calories and no succulence. Oh! I forgot - and the over yellowed cheese, resembling a bike puncture kit). I won't be visiting to even attempt such garbage (rubbish ). Edited September 9, 2014 by DrLom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurris Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Wow am I the only one who wants one of these burgers? They look good. A good burger is heaven and in Thailand there is only Carls Jr that do anything resembling a good burger. So it will be nice to have an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
