Weeelll...?

The towel is indeed nice and big:

....and most closely resembles the original menu cover in Tiki Modern.
They did not only have napkins, but also plates...yet not on close out: 3.99 for 8 paper plates makes it 50 cents a plate. In fact, ALL the prices at World Market seemed to have been unfazed by the economic slump, definitely more boutique level than import store.

And design-wise, for the plate and napkins they veered of the proven "3/4 Tiki on the side" composition, so they had to invent the other arm, which really doesn't fit with the original one. Tikis don't have pointy elbows like that. An those kinda hands...

They also flipped the image, and together with the added top and bottom parts, and the patterns on the side, this Tiki now looks more like a Roman column, plus with those sleepy eyes (from the original) he always reminded me more of a Frog, so forthwith I will lovingly call him the "Roman Frog Tiki"! :)
