One of the reels had a spot for 7-11's newest Slurpee flavor called "Awa Awa Uka Lele" and this ad may actually be downright tiki - beating drums of the island natives, the exotica tinged "siren song of the native maiden", etc. Probably one of the most entertaining 60 second radio spots ever, at least to us! I transfered the tape to MP3 and annoyed many friends this summer by taking a commercial break on a mix CD I made with this ad.
