Got to say, though I share people's distaste for it (this is Tikicentral after all, we've got standards...), "tiki taco" is a pretty effective name from a marketing perspective. Hey, don't shoot the messenger, it just does seem well chosen in terms of rhythm, memorability, and evocativeness.

I'm surprised by the Buffett reference (and yes, misspelled, how classic). Rather audacious to make the reference, apparently to draw on the positive associations people have with it, then in the next sentence make a strongly implied dig at him ("far from ... your average cheeseburger"). Pretty gutsy, and I'm not sure in an entirely admirable way.

I ought to amend that. That was not the co's own marketing text, it was written by a third party, the trade publication. The company represents itself here, and makes no cheap digs at anyone:

I was wrong to imply otherwise above.

I reserve the right to make fun of anyone or anything, especially, if the company has a Department of Redundancy Department :lol:

That, however, doesn't mean I couldn't also be their best customer. If Poop on a Cracker makes the best dang poop on a cracker and I'm into it, I'd be happy to have their SOS. It doesn't mean I wouldn't make fun of them, particularly, if they had an extensive poop menu.

...just when you thought that cack had dried up and blown away...
