The former home of the founder of Hawaiian Tropic has sold. This would have made a fine home for any of us on this site. May he rest in peace.
The photos and treasures start to show up on page two. https://www.cltampa.com/tampa/florida-home-of-hawaiian-tropic-founder-ron-rice-sells-for-36-million/Slideshow/14608939/14608949

Hawaiian Tropic? The juice in the can? The one you opened with a can opener?
I drank a couple hundred gallons of Hawaiian Tropic before I was 10 years old. I think it was 10% real fruit juice. What was the mascot that went around punching everybody? |

No, That was Hawaiian Punch. This is the tanning oil you rub the ladies down with at the pool in 1985. |

I was going to ask where’s the pool table, but I think there’s one in the third photo. It’s got a wood cover on it to convert it to a large desk.

See that glass hearth in the first picture? Probably had lines of blow that went 360 degrees around it and you did as many degrees as you could. If that wasn't your thing, there were probably hookers on standby with lines on their ass.
