We have a thread for tiki faces in weird and strange places, and a thread for strange tiki merchandise. This thread is for tiki art and/or related elements (in a very broad sense) found in strange and unusual places.

I'm starting with a single photo below, and will eventually add some close-up scans once I get some of the actual product.

I'm planning on visiting the opening of a new tiki-themed section of a water park this weekend and I might find some other interesting things to post.

Here we go: Organic tortilla chips with a pretty cool tapa pattern and very subtle sort-of-bamboo background decorating the bag. How tortilla chips and tapa designs came to be connected on this packaging is a mystery, but I'll guess the packaging designer(s) may be fans of tiki. The Kirkland brand hails from the Pacific Northwest, so it's possible they are familiar with the tiki scene in that part of the country and wanted to do something fun with it. The design and color scheme is very cool.
