Think about it. What's the year on all those TV coconut mugs? 1934. If Don's opened on December 5th of 1934, Vic would have 25 days for Don's to get wildly popular and for him to transform Hinky Dinks into Trader Vic's. No way.

Hinky Dink's opened in 1934- it did not become Trader Vic's until 1937. So he's just stretching the date on the coconut mugs.
