47190	United States Honolulu	The domain in this photo is branding. The Hawaiian in this photo is to refer to significant places in Hawaii. For example, Mauna Loa is the name of a volcano and Hana is a place located on Maui. The intended audience is those who want to try Hawaiian-inspired ice cream flavors. It is printed on a cup-like pint. The implied message is that unlike other ice cream flavors this one is special and exclusive to Hawaii. The name of this flavor makes the audience question the connection of “Rocky Road to Hana” and the brand itself. I believe that it is just wordplay. - CQ	Multilingual Hawaiʻi

47181	United States Honolulu	AJR - Check In #3 This picture shows a greeting sign outside of a shopping center in Kalihi that is solely in Hawaiian.

I say this because promoting signs like this may be with misguided intentions, such as attracting attention from tourists rather than promoting more of a local/Hawaiian status in the island	Multilingual Hawaiʻi
