Is there a "Tiki related scale" from not Tiki, to not tiki but close, up to to Tiki... maybe something like the Scoville Heat scale for peppers? At Zero we'd have Owl & Mushroom pottery pieces, then Middle Eastern/Moorish @ 1, Aztec/South American, Benihanas, Rum Barrels from non-tiki establishments, "Exotica" pieces like this, Giant Tiki Forks & Spoons, Tiki Rum Barrels, Ren Clark heads, and finally real Tiki, working up to the Habaneros of Tikidom like RustBeltCat's Big Find.
