Unfortunately, I didn't bid on the mug as the shipping costs would be too high - not so lucky! So it was only used in the Waikiki International Marketplace Vic's? That makes it even more interesting to me. BigBro - Thanks for the link. So you think the decision was more an artistic one rather than one of minimising production costs? (Assuming of course, production costs are lower with more simplistic designs.) If only used in Waikiki, was there some kind of local history behind the design? Was it common for Vic's to have special mugs for various locations?
