I keep meaning to take pictures of it!

I used to work for Trader Joe’s back in the 90′s… Back when they lifted the font from Trader Vic’s in the early 70′s – the “connection” with TV’s was much stronger. I believe quite a few Trader Joe’s had a good deal of Witco & Oceanic Arts tikis, along with nautical & Polynesian decor.
Here’s a photo of me in 1996, “liberating” a tiki that was going in the trash:
