It's always comical to me to see what others think of as Tiki.

Whether it's a bottle used as a marker by a surveyor on some pacific island or a bottle of Noni juice. And if someone calls BS and says what's so Tiki about that bottle? Then some one else will pipe up and say. "Well the noni comes from Tahiti and everyone knows that's where Thor went and well, he was on the Kon Tiki so everything related to that faithful voyage is rendered tikified by default. So the Noni and the stupid bottle and everything else that ever was in the pacific is now and here to forward TIKI. ahumpbullshit!

I grow it in my yard and the Polynesian brought it with them when they traveled so it must have been valued for it's medicinal properties. As for mixing it in a cocktail. The stuff tastes and smells just like Vomit, not a flavor I look for in a good drink.
