I noticed an unprecidented selection of tiki torches at a local Wal-Mart tonight when the word "Tiki" in an appropriate typestyle jumped out at me from a display in lawn and garden:
Tiki Cone Metal Torch, $8.88; this has a metal pole which supports an inverted cone-like container held upright by a thick spiral wire.
Tiki Grass Bamboo Torch, $4.83; this is bamboo post which supports a clear container in a bamboo and twine holder.
Both have fiberglass wicks and are marketed by Tiki, Menomonee Falls, WI. They also had the cheaper tiki torches they've carried for years but I'm sure this is the first time I've seen more than one type in this neck of the woods. Is it too much to hope that lawn and garden trade shows might be pushing tiki this year?
