Vern, I think we discussed this before: In my time frame of the history of Tiki culture, 1978 is smack tab in the middle of the "Devolution" phase, so it makes sense that these babies came like that, probably from Orchids of Hawaii, which at that time had fully gone over to the clown color side. So in a sense they are historically correct, and if you have pleasant memories associated with them, it is what it is. :)
