Description: Tiki culture is a celebration of tropical escapism. It's a longing for the time when Pacific islands were still exotic locales that inspired Donn Beach and Trader Vic to create their own versions back home. It all started in 1934 with the first Don the Beachcomber tiki restaurant, and was rejuvenated in the mid-90's with the printing of The Book of Tiki by Sven Kirsten. Pull up a chair, sip your Mai Tai, and study the tsantsa-covered ceiling while listening to the sounds of the Hukilau.

What is tiki: Things that are tiki: Tiki mugs. Tiki bars. Tiki cocktails. Aloha shirts. Luaus. Witco. Oceanic Arts. South Pacific culture. Trader Vic's. Don The Beachcomber. Martin Denny. Les Baxter. Mai Tais.

Things that arent tiki: Hot rods. Lowbrow Art (Rat Fink et al). Surf music. Jimmy Buffet. Margaritas. Science Fiction.

Mouth Watering..... I love the glass can you share some details about it.

[–] MeatRobot 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was released in a limited run by Tiki Tony . The glasses came in pairs and have a COVID theme. I believe the Morse code reads "after the plague came the Renaissance," as well as another phrase I can't recall at the moment.

Very Cool, thank you for details.

You're welcome. The last part of the morse code says "remember to always drink your Ovaltine"
