Similarly, seeing Tiki motifs on clothing by companies who previously had no connection to Tiki is something that makes me shake my head. To offer a counter point, I enjoy seeing tiki delivered to the masses, even if it is the "Target" variety, as opposed to the luxurious and more expensive Trader Vic's variety. Whether there are tiki cups at a party store, tiki alarm clocks at Target or tiki-themed vacation shows or Trader-Joes, I love every aspect of tiki, including the baptism of the masses into tiki.
