The main body of this mug is designed to look like a section of yellow bamboo, and the handle is actually a bird, climbing up the bamboo. The mug features the same high quality double-wall construction as many of the Steve Crane Associates designs. Gabe Florian was associated with the design of the Mauna Loa and this mug is quite likely his design (although this is not verified). The drink that came in this mug was called the Polynesian Pidgeon. As the menu says, "Two or more will stimulate you enough to give yourself away. Watch out!"
