Another "Beeeep!" (as in "NOT!") in my book, this ugly duckling of Tiki mug history comes in second to the worst mug design out there, the Kowloon "Potato Bug" mug (the potato bug mug being the ugliest insect in creation).

Blasphemy!

The Kowloon mug is one of the coolest mugs designs ever! And totally unique. Not derivative of an authentic Tiki or any other Tiki mug design. Kudos for originality, and I just love that Tiki. It's clearly an example of subjective preferences, or "different strokes for different folks".

I REALLY like the more rare tall Kowloon mug. Looks like the S&P shakers. I've yet to find one of these. Anyone have one they want to trade?

Um... wait. You are right. These mugs are awful. Nobody would want them. Send yours to me and I'll make sure they are properly disposed of. Yeah... Especially if you have the tall one. You really don't want to even be seen with the tall Kowloon mug. Bad scene.

I like the Kon Tiki design as well– but when it has good detail, not all crappy, crude, and blown-out.

I have the salt & pepper shakers like the Kowloon mug but, I don't have the tall one. It is on the top of my want to find list! I love knowing that it is a potato bug that just makes me want it more. I'm sure the potato bug was just misunderstood and this is a fitting tribute.
