Some of you might enjoy these two ads, for Carl's Jr Teriyaki burgers.

Is this correct Hawaiian idiom, or is it Hawaiian idiot language....."when a guy can't get his wahine to put some HALA KAHIKI all over his...." !!?

What I really appreciate here is that ending product shot of the burger dropping into frame and dripping juuuust enough ketchup so it looks yummy. Now that must have taken countless takes to get right! That's why food stylists make big bucks in commercials.

New Carl's Jr. ad slogan (via Idiocracy): "F*ck you, I'm Hula-ing!"

We were hit with those last summer... Regrettable. We also have big cardboard tiki displays for Kona coffee at Weigels. Coffee Cups with grass skirts. Not horrible. The tiki die cuts are at least far closer to the real deal than to Party City.
