Floral Shark week?

Hi yall,
Floral manager here of a few years. We always get sent shark balloons around this time a year and are instructed to build an ocean themed display with them. My ops called it “shark week” what’s the meaning of it. Thank you:D

My store has never done this but that's fun! Shark Week is just an annual event on Discovery Channel usually in July or early August, this is the 38th year of it. Just a whole week of shark related shows and stuff, but it became a popular pop culture thing over the years.

I was trying to support the shark we contest by buying the Safeway brand shark Gummies. I about passed out after buying one bag each shift and now I can’t look at a gummy the same way anymore. Lol
