The definition of what constitutes a Tiki mug was blurry enough to begin with but now it has just become a joke. You should see some of the absolute crap that is hash tagged as a #tikimug over on Instagram. And i'm not even talking about those things that are an ATTEMPT at a Tiki. Instead of calling them what they really are, a ceramic cocktail mug, businesses like Disney and Geeki-tiki (who produce all the Star Wars/Marvel etc. bullshit) are just completely bastardizing the scene and what Tiki really is, all to make a fast buck.

Not even half of my Tiki mug collection are actual Tiki subjects... Most of them are jungle and nautical themes (coconuts, mermaids, tropical birds, body parts, bamboo). I guess I'm part of the problem :wink:

Really, I agree that it's not the lack of Tiki subject that's the problem here, just an ugly mug design.
