Tiki mugs

Tiki mugs are cups that are often used to serve tropical drinks in bars and restaurants. They are usually made of ceramics or other materials and shaped like tikis, which are statues or carvings of humanoid figures that were used in Polynesian cultures to represent deities or ancestors.

Imagine you're at a birthday party and you want a special cup for your juice. Tiki mugs are like those cups, but they are shaped like cool statues! These statues are very important to some people from far away places called Polynesia. They were used to show respect to their gods or special people from their family.

Tiki mugs come in many colors and designs, some even have faces with big eyes and noses, just like the tikis. They are super fun to drink from, especially if you're having a tropical drink with an umbrella in it!

Some people like to collect tiki mugs and keep them on display at home. They are like souvenirs from fun vacations or special memories. So, whether you're sipping juice or having a special drink, a tiki mug is a fun way to make your drink even cooler!
