To me, the Bahooka is a real anomoly, it opened in 1976 when Tiki was well into the devolution stage. Now while I grew up in Rosemead, I was too young to care whether the current Tropical cocktail menu was in place. Also did the Bahooka have Tikis back in the 1970's? I don't remember. I know they currently brand themselves as "Tiki", but I'm not sure when that happend. Maybe the Bahooka is an example of a Beachcomber/Nautical establishment that opened in the middle of the devolution Disco days and then evolved into "Tiki" when the Revival took off. In which case, Bigbro's mug might be a Tiki "evolution mug" and can be used to illustrate this fascinating theory. :) Go Panthers !! [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2010-06-18 11:12 ]
