I went to my local Big Lots and they looked at me all crazy when I asked for these, after looking around. I figured they were those tumblers from Oriental Trading Company and wasn't too motivated but figured I try the other Big Lots just West of me in Fullerton. I, too, found one lone brown tiki behind the Mountain Dew crap! My 7 year old son said "that's mine!" I really loved them so asked if they would call other stores for me. The guy was on hold at the 3rd store so long, I just decided to go there. In 100 degree heat in a black convertable the treck was on! The next store was a score! We bought all 22 they had in blue, brown (my fav) purple and pink! Perfect for by the pool! We have enough to give one to everyone at our tailgate at Jimmy Buffet, that's right, Jimmy Buffet, my friend Tod's famous BBQ jerk chicken and shark, my blow-up cheesey ice chest, and tiki heads filled with my famous Amaretto Cadi Margaritas! Don't you purists just hate me now! I may bring some extras so if anyone is going to Irvine Thurs. or Sat. and aren't afraid to admit it, come find me for a tiki and a smile!
Thanks for the tip! They were worth the effort! Laney
