I thought all of you mug collectors would find this interesting: It's an ad for pre-Tiki Mug "Zombie Tumblers" by Sontage Cut-Rate Drug Stores, from the June 11, 1942 Los Angeles Evening Herald.

"Special Purchase, Extra Tall, Extra Slim Zombie Tumblers. There's more ZEST in the drink when it's a ZOMBIE TUMBLER! A unique, Tropical design graces these six sparkling glasses that are especially correct for iced tea, fruit juices or long, tall, cool ones"! 6 for $0.49. Exclusive at Sontag's"
