Re: Name that Logo

#3 - Island Princess

You got it!

Have you ever noticed how many brands of Chocolate-covered Macadamia Nuts have joined the competition in recent years?

There's Hawaiian Sun, Ed & Dons, Mauna Loa (now owned by Hershey's), plus the three brands featured in this logo hunt. Take that and multiply it by all the different TYPES of macadamia nut-related products (caramacs, garlic onion this, dark chocolate that), and you have just massive amounts of sales floor space in the various supermarkets and department stores dedicated just to these tourism-driven products. It's mind-boggling!

OK, I finally have some extra free time to post a new one!...



Hints:
• #1 is near Aloha Stadium on Moanalua Road.
• #2's name (in part) is its street address
• #3's name (in part) is also the name of a city on one of our islands

Re: Name that Logo

I'll take a stab at #1.

Is it Aiea Manapua & Snacks, home of the pizza manapua?

Darn it. Didn't think anyone would get that one. You buggah you!



Personally never been there, so asking, how is Aiea Manapua & Snacks' Manapua (and food in general), anyway? Comparable to Libby (slacking lately on the Charsiu), Char Hung Sut and/or Chun Wah Kam?

I dunno. I drove over there just one time several years ago because I was curious about their pizza manapua that was all the rage back then, only to find they had just sold out. I was so disappointed I just turned around, left, and never went back.

Re: Name that Logo

i knew it was aiea manapua, darn it!

anyway, it's owned by a guy that used to work for long's (or so it used to be in 2000) who is not the original owner. the dim sum is just passable. even 7eleven's is better. anyway that's how i remember it.

It's obvious these all have something in common.

Re: Name that Logo

#1) Taro Brand Poi

I'm bummed I'm faltering on the other two! Must be the Pinot Gris of the
afternoon!

Oh SLAP ME!!!!!!!! # 3.) Hanalei Poi. This is should have gotten right away. Here's why. Our beloved Maggie was a nut for poi
especially Hanalei. She ate it throughout her short time with us (all brands). At the end we were splurging exclusively on
Hanalei for her due to cancer spreading and her Cushing's disease relentlessly taking over her body as well. So I bought
a plastic tub of it for what would be the last time - who knew? Anyway she came to the point where saying "Aloha baby"
was the only humane thing to do for her and it was so hard. Our dear vet came to the house and we all cried as she went
to sleep forever. So between absolute grief and despair and loneliness I saw her tub of poi in the fridge and lo and behold
the "best by date" or whatever it says on their containers read 9/28/04 which is the day she left us.............I have a little
shelf in her favorite room with her ashes, toys, t-shirts and so on and also that plastic tub from the poi.......My littlest
pit bull/basenbull poi dog gone but certainly never forgotten........

Roger that on #1, which is indeed Taro Brand Poi. You're good!

Very touching story about your beloved Maggie, but must inform you that #3 is not Hanalei Poi (Kauai).

The location of #3 is near a mall on east Oahu.

Re: Name that Logo

New round!...

Looks like more hints are needed.

#1 is Taro Brand Poi, thank you Leashlaws.

#2 could be easily answered by ZZType.

#3 is a health food store.

Re: Name that Logo

#2 OHA
#3 'Umeke Market

The last two were almost impossible to identify without tips. There are too many logos in Hawaii with taro leaf designs.
