Aloooooha!

I was at my favorite Japanese/Hawaiian market named Marukai, and while looking at the different teas, I heard this couple speaking their native language and then "tiki" is said like 4 or 5 times. It piqued my curiosity so I went over to see what they were talking about, and found, what I too would guess, to be "Tiki Candy".

The price was $1.07, including tax, so I bought one and tasted 2 of the little candies. I can't quite place the taste, but it does have sort of a light lemon flavor, and a slightly softer consistency in comparison to Pez. It doesn't say "TIKI" anywhere on it, unless there is a written Japanese equivelant to the word 'tiki' that was on the package, but the container kind of gives you a hint as to why I call it "Tiki Candy".

I thought it was cool, and for $1.07, I got my brief tiki-thrill for the day.

BTW~their fresh seafood and sashimi is REALLY good! I got home and pretty much had the WHOLE package of Tuna Sushi all to myself! MMMMMMM...Good!
