Hey Monitors, cool topic!

PolynesianPop -- well, this one came about not only because of my obvious love for the era but of its founders and how well it fits me. Much of the old-school carvers and bartenders of the Polynesian Pop era were Filipino - Andres Bumatay, Milan Guanko, etc come to mind and Ray Buhen opened the Tiki Ti after mixing for Seven Seas and Don the Beachcomber.

And me being also of Filipino heritage, collector of all things from that era, and also a father of 2 -- It all added up to "PolynesianPop" (although my non-tiki friends call me Polynesian Poppa).

Some alternatives I've heard from other TC'ers:

Polyester Pop
Polypropylene Pop
Polyethelyne Pop
Polystyrene Pop
Polly want a cracker Pop
