I especially like how the barrel mug fits in with the Trader theme. When we were leaving, the bartender swapped our dirty mugs for new clean ones, still individually packed in boxes. The boxed mugs, both the barrel and Uh Oa bowl, have "Made In China" stickers on them. Do we know these are really Tiki Farm products? They don't say "Tiki Farm" on them anywhere and I seem to remember Mr. Westland saying once that Tiki Farm mugs are manufactured in Mexico. -- Update -- I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Holden Westland last weekend at the Don the Beachcomber marketplace event. He was extremely gracious -- engaging in friendly conversation with everyone, whether they were buying mugs or not. Anyway, I asked him about the new Sam's mugs and he confirmed they are indeed made by Tiki Farm. You all knew that already though I'm guessing. As for not saying "Tiki Farm" on them, this is because Disney did not want them to. That's not really so surprising now that I think about it. As for them being made in China, well, they are.
