Although Bloody Mary chews them in 'South Pacific', they don't quite seem to have the following that Mai Tais do. I can't see why not! everyone else in "South Pacific" enjoy maitais equally as well as betel nut. And it's origin is so similar to maitai, since that fateful day a Micronesian couple was offered some in Victor Bergeron's back yard and they said "hatari loa hai karate" which means; "it ain't bad but it ain't out of this world".... So, yea. i can't understand the imbalance either.
