That dread you’re feeling in the pit of your stomach? Yeah, bad news, your NEMESIS is here.
This month, we gathered the dark forces of pop culture with a collection of villainous Loot Crate gear featuring Ghostbusters, Jaws, & MORE! (Yer gonna need a bigger crate… )
May’s NEMESIS Loot Crate features one of the most terrifying villains of all time… Bruce, the Great White Shark from JAWS!
In 1974, Peter Benchley published the novel, Jaws. All about a great white shark preying on the residents of a small seaside town. One year later, the book was adapted into a film by Steven Spielberg and became a smash hit.
Dun dun, dun dun. Oh no. Dun dun, dun dun. LOOTERS. Dun dun, dun dun… RUN!
Oh wait. It’s not a REAL shark. Just this adorable, derpy version of Bruce, made with edible fruits!
With Jaws (the movie) celebrating its 44th anniversary this June, I just HAD to feature the big great white himself with May’s Looter Recipe: Jaws Watermelon!
This recipe was super easy and fun to put together! Nothing says “family fun time” like sharp knives and fish made out of fruit!
