I proposed this to Chiki Tiki WAAAY back at Tiki Farm's "Big Ole Tiki Bash" and the TIME HAS COME...
Tiki Diablo (aka chiki tiki) as many of you know has carved the most beautiful and largest tiki mug we'all have ever scene...
So I think we HAVE to do the Guiness World record for largest mai tai mug this year at Tiki Oasis. There is time this time around to set it up... It has to be applied for roughly 10 weeks in advance of the event. There is no entry fee if you apply far enough in advance + plus it'll get our master carver Chiki some good publicity.
I did a search on guiness for "tiki mug' and "mai tai" and there were no records.
So Chiki - are you down? Do you want me to start the application - or do you want to?
Also who's wants to donate some booze etc. for it...
Chiki we'll need to figure out just how much that mug'll hold.

I remember talking to Danny about this last year. I think its a great idea for Tiki Oasis! Would be cool to see that thing in the Guiness Book of World Records --

I have a lot of booze left over that I don't drink, so I will bring some.
And to quote Dr. Frankenstien "how big should we make it?"
What are we going to mix it in?
You guys will want to drink it the rest of the weekend.
Will Bacardi sponsor? Capt. Morgan?
If everyone brought some would we need a sponsor?
What do ya think?
We could mix it in a giant kiddie pool.
(from Toyz am be-in We)
Then we take 5 gallon buckets and fill Danny's mug.
I can't wait to see Bong lick the pool dry when we are done.
Please Sir, may I have another S-press-O
triple shot please???????????

LET"S DO IT! I'll get the capacity and get it prepped for food safe service. Oh yes, it is 51" tall at the front. You should have seen Octavio(135lbs?) wrestle this sucker. He's scrappy!

Youza! that is one heavy gigantor Mug. It took 3 guys and a dolly to bring it up to the second floor where the photostudio is. And a lot of painkillers the day after...
Lets say, we make the biggest MAITAI and get a couple of gals to wrestle in it!

I remember that the main problem was finding a place to put the tank we rented for the event. when filled with liquid, it was so heavy, it had to be on concrete.
<snip>
However, The Guiness People did not certify the results, even though we had filled out the paperwork, snapped all the pictures they requested, etc!
I'll try and find the pictures. It was rough job, and we did it with the help and sponsorship of Bacardi.
The Hawaii department of health, and the liquer comission both sent representatives to check it all out. |

how big was your mai tai then? i guess we'll just have to go for "largest mai tai in a tiki mug"

I've been in correspondance with Basement Kahuna, about the idea of carving a Trader Frank's swizzle stick to mix the drink with, and hes very hip to the idea.
So if you want to make the worlds largest ( ok maybe not the largest in an industrial tank ) Mai Tai, I'm offering to stir it with the worlds largest ( ok I don't know that its the worlds largest, but cut me some slack ) swizzle stick.
The visual alone would be both hilarious, and awesome!

I think the swizzle stick idea is absolutely fabulous! Take lots of pictures of you creating the piece... maybe we can get a repeat performance by the girl in Winky's photo for a little added bonus!
