Great find, makutiki! That indeed appears to be a very legit Otagiri Mai Kai tiki mug. It was used to serve the Mara Amu drink at the Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale; you still get to keep the tiki mug when you order a Mara Amu at the Mai Kai, but it's a different mug now. Here's the mug in Ooga-Mooga:

Yup, looks like the real thing. Great find!!!

I've been looking all over Ft Lauderdale for that mug for years. I Like how it turns up in Sweden, that's cool. Nice score!

Hey McDougall,

I got one of them on ebay for less than $10 not too long ago. I don't think they are that hard to come by. If I see one around, I'll give you a shout.
