Shocking! Next thing someone will tell me is that the plates from Franklin Mint are used only for display by most people and not for serving meals :D

LOL! Fair call. Although I'd appreciate a warning before I'm surprised by such fine art in the future. :D

It's just weird, I feel like I SHOULD enjoy drinking out of tiki mugs, but I much prefer a DOF/Mai Tai standard glass like Skip mentioned, or a tall Zombie or Hurricane glass every time.

The only time that serious ceramics are really called for is with a bowl for two or more. And I can count the times I order those on the number of fingers I have on my head.

... I've been thoroughly impressed by the variety that's become available in the past year, however. Lots of warm ambers and dimmables available now, with a wide array of lumens. Are they perfect for all applications? Of course not, but it's nice to have a bunch of light strings in series without having to worry about the blown fuses I got with C9 bulbs.

Same boat here. I LOVE that I can run my underbar lighting for hours at a crack without worrying about sending the already sky-high winter energy bill even further toward the moon.
The option to change colors, or fade, or dim (something regular fairy lights are typically not set up for) are all awesome as well.
