For what it's worth, I just saw Tiki Punch yesterday at Dollar Tree in Vallejo CA. So maybe more of the, ha, DT's have Tiki Punch. I'm sure it's the most quality product there, especially judging by the usefulness of the batteries I bought...

I just picked up my first 2 liter bottle of Tiki Punch... can't find it in cans. But it does say right on the label: World's Greatest Flavor! Vote for Tiki Punch now at http://www.shastapop.com ... and a cool tiki mug graphic...
So, after giving it a taste, long forgotten memories of dark, 70s steak houses my parents loved to frequent began to surface. I was drinking a Shirley Temple! I now know the secret of Tiki Punch! Now to get started on my mixology.... Tiki Punch has to become the foundation of an awesome grog!

Man, that is too fascinating! For the genesis of this whole thing, check the thread at:
http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=33&forum=1
I was pondering to, at some point in time, contact Shasta (I work near their HQ) to claim responsibility. Now that they've updated their packaging, I'm not sure how happy they'd be to find out that it was us!
My hat is off to SullTiki... one person CAN make a difference!

'Worlds Greatest Flavor'....we have made a difference in the world!!!
That really is funny. A little worrying when you think about the NRA, and others who use 'people power' to push through their weird agenda; bloody funny when you realise it's a board full of enthusiasts voting on soda!

Or perhaps just SullTiki and a well-crafted macro...

There are some who believe protecting the second amendment is not a "weird agenda".

You nailed it on the head Mig! I know that most everyone pitched in and added a few votes, but I believe the credit really goes to "Quick Macros"

We would not have over a million votes without it.

Sorry mrtikibar, no offence meant. I meant that there were many pressure groups, many of them somewhat 'nutty' in outlook, who just vote en masse to push things through.
I mentioned the NRA because they are famed for using this tactic.
Now back to soda....
I thought we were already in the lead when sulltiki came up with the miracle macro. Would we have won without it? Who knows?

Your point is well taken about tactics. I think weirdness, however, better describes our agenda. I recall visiting the Shasta website and casting a vote for Tiki Punch, swept up in the inalienable truth "anything tiki must be good" and feeling a bit remorseful as I had never tasted the stuff.
Now I feel I have to go buy a bottle of the concoction. It will probably find a home next to the bottle of Arrow Anisette at the back of my liquor cabinet.

It was back and forth for a bit with Tiki Punch & Grape, but we had the lead.
Then everyone lost interest for a while and Sangria took a big lead out of nowhere.
That's when the macro came into play, and really put some distance between us.

To my friends in the Chicago area:I don't know if this helps at all but I got ahold of some of the Shasta Tiki Punch at a Cub Foods store in Minneapolis. They had a lot of it. It was on sale for $1.99 so being the consumerist that I am(giggle)I bought 3 12-packs.
The stuff isn't bad.It tastes very similar to the old Royal Crown product Tahitian Treat. It doesn't seem to be quite as sweet though which I like.
I have yet to mix the soda with rum but I will do that shortly. t size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: SlovakTiki on 2002-11-16 08:39 ]</font>
