I got it!
Have finally found out why I'm so jaded and can't get excited over these new tiki lite bars.

It's the Kahiki fault or even the Mai Kai and the Tiki Ti.

They SPOILED me, I've been to them all and your efforts are not enough new tiki bar.
It's not your fault really I want them back, your place may as well be a Starbucks with a tiki in them.

The people who rave about these places have not been to the real deal or they are lying to themselves and you.

And here is the key, MYSTERY and strange new things.

The first tiki bars gave us new foods we never ate and crazy décor we had never seen.
TV and computers movies did not show us all the things in these places, they were new to us.
Nooks and crannies to go around and find new masks, spears, huge palm trees!
It would rain and thunder!

Tiki maddens in skimpy clothes, new drinks, "What is this new Drink the Mai Tai?"

You do have the tiki, you do have a few things on the walls, and you do have the high price drinks, but no new drinks really.

Some places drinks are the same price as the Mai Kai, but the Mai Kai has a FLOOR SHOW!

Where's the drink in a Pineapple?

I found this out by watching this guy.
Do have to apologize to you new tiki bar, it's not you, It's me.
So badly want to go to a Heston tiki bar!

Bet you can't watch this and smile and laugh out loud.
