At least Disney and Trader Sam's has one foot in a real old school style tiki spot in their tiki attractions and the long history of cool old tiki with those attractions.

Plus some of their mugs are cool at least.

The thing is many times in the past when I go off on the non old school tiki on TC I kinda feel like the bad guy with others not liking that view point, it just happened in my last posts just the other day.

You do have the right to like what you like but others have the right to say "wow that's crap"

On the mugs I think many times it's just ignorance and just not knowing that the Kahiki mug you just bought is one of the newest ones made and has little historic value.

Or maybe historic value does not matter to these people, if not what gives the mugs a high price then as some of the ones I'm talking about are not really that cool.
Eye of the beholder I guess.

It was way more fun to buy on eBay when you knew who your enemy was in fighting for mugs, there was I forget but something like Bananna boobs Kohalacharmes.
Have post it notes in my tiki quest book with prices and names of who won, and the prices were LOW my wife saying that's too high they will go down, they never did and even now sell for more.

It kills me when you see some really great mugs, OLD Kahiki stuff that has to live in a home "tiki" bar with brightly colored paper lanterns and a disco ball in the room, just tragic, it's like Party City with a bit tiki plus key west orgy in these spots.

These people will tell you they KNOW tiki.
