Even though Ooga-Mooga labels it “common”, I’m actually quite fond of this one. One of the tiki faces is happy and the other angry. Face the glass whichever way suits your mood.

Neither of these is a branded item. They’re not specifically made for Trader Sam’s and they don’t say "Trader Sam’s" (or even "Disney") on them anywhere.[snip]

The mug is this one: http://www.wasserstrom.com/restaurant-supplies-equipment/Product_403060 which has been in use (with some variations) at Walt Disney World's Polynesian Resort since forever. Originally it was frosted and branded with both the WDW and Polynesian Resort logos, but the frosting was easily marred and then the branding went -- I guess as a consequence of "field collecting" -- to the plain-jane version available today at the Poly's gift shop (4 for $36 the last time I looked) or online from restaurant supply places ($104 for a case, you do the math.)
