No, it's not new. When I was a kid (in the 1960's) we always had a 4th of July celebration at the house of a friend of the family. They had a pool, and there was a BBQ, the usual 4th of july stuff. There were always two big coolers filled with drinks. One contained beer for the adults, but the kids cooler was filled with Shasta sodas. I was pretty sure that one of the sodas was called Tiki Punch, and this would seem to confirm it. The can looks different than I remember it. I vaguely remember there being a tiki on the can. I also remember a drawing of a mountain on the cans too (Mt. Shasta, obviously). I think it even tastes the same: like carbonated hawaiian punch. I had not had shasta sodas in many years until this whole tiki punch internet incident. But this brought back many memories. It looks lile some of them were even true.
