It's very popular in Guam, the Philippines, South Korea, and other places. I guess the important part is how it's doing in the United States. If Spam musubi gets popular with the kids on the mainland, Spam could explode. Now if the Chinese could get a taste for Spam, it's game over, man!
My wife used to help her mom pack cans of Spam as gifts for relatives in Korea. This, is completely normal behavior in Korea. It's considered worthy of gift giving over there.
