(SK) (#3) This photo is located in Waipahu and is a local Acai Bowl place. This sign is located outside of the business and is the menu of what they serve. It’s multiple colors and pictures makes it stand out and allows customers to view it. Pidgin is found in this photo by the label of the establishment “Wicked Bowlz” with the emphasis on the spelling of bowlz. Some think that acai bowls are a local delicacy of Hawaii and are local, however they are not. The intended audience is those looking for a tasty acai bowl to eat and looking over the menu.

The phrase “kanak attack” is the feeling of intense laziness you get from eating too much. The plate shown in the photo of the Katsu chicken, Mac salad, 2 scoops of rice, meat with soy sauce and the Hawaiian Style drink is a very popular plate on the island and normally after eating this big of a meal people feel so tired and lethargic they they just want to knock out. Which is why the shirt says “Home of the kanak attack”.

Pidgin is being used here because it is an entertaining way to make a shirt. By wearing this shirt, it would show that you’re a proud local since Pidgin is like a signature in Hawai’i and so is the food shown.

KA : Kakimochi is a local term for fried "kaki" rice balls "mochi". In Japan it's called Arare. Here, the choice to use the local term instead of the Japanese one is due to its familiarity to most locals. Kakimochi is classic and well loved. the domain is retail/sales.

KA : Hapa is Hawaiian meaning half. Its use here is as a brand name, perhaps because the makers of the product are hapa perhaps because that's their name. Whatever the case, using a Hawaiian word for your brand makes it more appealing to locals who prefer to support local products. Domain is retail.

KA : Meli means bee in Hawaiian. The choice to use meli instead of bee was probably to appeal to local buyers while still describing the product. Domain is retail.

KA : Ku'ia is some kind of obstacle or to encounter an obstacles. As such I'm a little confused as to why one would use it as their brand name, I can only assume that it's their name. Despite all that though, the Hawaiian will still appeal to local customers. Domain is retail.
