I agree, TIKIZILLA! I think I saw that, too. I was like "Uh, no. Harvey's didn't have an all-black mug." I see the black/orange ones on eBay a lot.

When sellers have their stories INCREDIBLY wrong, I usually send them a private message with corrections as I know them and I quote where the info is from -- i.e. Tiki Road Trip or Tiki Quest. Most people are really nice about it. They are usually just folks who got the mug from some garage sale and honestly have NO CLUE when it was from so it will say something like "Vintage Tiki Mug from the 1950's" and the bar it is from will have opened in the mid 60's and closed in the 1990's. Truth in advertising...
