J. Maxx bottle. But after a few days exposure to sunlight it now appears that I have a 800ml tiki urine sample. Now I know why this bastard is suffering! Makes me wonder what color my urine would be if I drank this stuff in its altered state. Anyone else have a similar experience? Please no details of visits to your urologist.

Thanks for warning me what I can look forward to: Urine glow light.

Or perhaps beans? :wink: Or maybe turn it into a lamp! (like that really nice painted black one, or how about a lava lamp?)

I love clear vintage resin objects, and very few were done in Tiki shape. I have a clear resin Marquesan statue I bought in Papeete that glows against my window, and years ago, at the first Chicago Tiki show (way before EXOTICA) some girl was making and selling resin Tiki amulets of which I got two, they are very nice too.
T Tikiwahine Tiki Socialite Victoria, BC Joined: Apr 09, 2003 Posts: 3295	T Tikiwahine Posted posted on 02/03/2005 It would be nice to be able to fill them with something that would stay it's original colour. I really liked the translucent blue, and red would be nice too. It reminds me of the goblets my Grandmother used to keep by the window in her kitchen...they were filled with collected beach glass that glowed when the sun hit them. Kind of nautical in itself.

J joefla70 Tiki Socialite Fort Lauderdale Joined: Jan 17, 2005 Posts: 368	J joefla70 Posted posted on 02/04/2005 8FT: I have the same bottle, but mine are blue and yellow. They were drink mixes I bought from Marshalls a year or so ago. (Pictured below - same as the ones posted on the http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=7790&forum=5 thread). I've kept mine displayed on my bar which is on my patio (so it gets plenty of light) and they have not changed color. Its funny that Tikiwahine suggested putting beans in your bottle. I remember that when I bought my two bottles from Marshalls, there were several others that did not contain drink mixes, but which actually did contain beans soaked in oil.

It looks as "fresh" as it did the day I brought it home. I haven't had the opportunity/need to crack it open yet - I'm still waiting for Al & Shelley to come over so I can make their favorite drink: On 2004-02-20 23:21, Alnshely wrote: The Dark Red Kidney Bean Infused Oil Daiquiri 1 oz Dark Red Kidney Bean Infused Oil 1 oz Neats Foot Oil 1 Oz Herbs of Fish or Tumeric Juice of one Kumquat Wisk vigorously with Fine Ice and Woolite.

Heh, sorry about that, I was being sarcastic beacuse I knew that some did come with beans and oil, hence the wink at the end. Naughty wahine.

P PolynesianPop Tiki Socialite Corona, Ca Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2371	P PolynesianPop Posted posted on 02/04/2005 8ft -- I checked my red bottle and it hasn't faded just yet but I did notice some tuft-like, cotton ball looking stuff floating around inside. My plan all along was to drain them all and put pour spouts on them for use in my future home bar, but now I don't even want to open the bottle. Eccchhhh.....
