First and foremost are the ratios. The PC is 1/3 coconut cream! The PK is 1/8th or even less. Secondly we have light rum vs dark rum. Everyone on TC is likely drinking 90% of their rum drinks with a dark rum base. And it is also likely that the only reason the PK is in our lexicon is because of the Pusser's connection. Not exactly a TIki drink really.
