The Dollar Tree also had some great plastic tki mugs that are ideal for larger parties. Who wants to use his actual tiki mugs when the people you invite are not all tiki nuts but are willing to pretend for an afternoon at a tiki lite party? We had 2 dozen plastic mugs for just such ocasions and lost all but one four years ago Christmas Day. Bakersfield got hit with torrential rain and what seemed like gale-force winds. My tiki bar that was free standing on the side of the house went end over end through the back yard. My wife and I cleaned up the debris and dragged the very damaged tiki bar under the covered patio and picked up all the plastic mugs that were not picked up by the wind and careening through the neighborhood. Fifteen minutes later the tiki bar somehow moved out from under the overhang of the house went end over end through the back yard yet again. More plastic tiki mugs were sucked into the vortex of doom known as my cul de sac, but the tiki bar was now total trash and not worth repairing. Suppose the tiki gods were outraged at the notion of plastic mugs?
