This was made for this year's Shark Week. What started as a silly joke became its own thing in the world of Lorenzo and Bonnie.
The SHONK is a discontinued series of shark-like toys by the defunct Fun2max toy company. It represented a chubby shark which mouth could be opened from the back by using the dorsal fin as a lever. SHONK was often represented with a shirt sporting a repeating pattern - in the case of the base model, two shrimps forming a circle-like figure. Some lore about SHONK :
- the Hammer Head SHONK and Saw SHONK models were considered particularly insulting towards hammerhead sharks and sawsharks
- the Gummy SHONK toys were recalled for health hazards related to the soft plastic used for this model
- the Lemonade SHONK was an exclusive model made in partnership with a saltwater lemonade manufacturer and was given as a prize for collecting lemonade tabs
- a wave of complaints and a bunch of lawsuits were fied after the release of the controversial Loan SHONK model
- while other factors played into Fun2Max going bankrupt thus ending the SHONK line, many people point to the Loan SHONK lawsuits as the main reason
