Ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't. It struck me that it must be common knowledge, yet I couldn't remember it ever being mentioned.

At some point in time after "The Big Three" the bright idea of serving drinks in an actual Tiki mug must have come up and it obviously spread like wildfire. From the situation of having no Tiki mugs whatsoever to having untold varieties in just a few years is pretty amazing. But what was that mug that kicked it all off? For some reason, I've always assumed it would be a moai-esque mug, so perhaps Tiki Bob's is that missing link......
