If you thought the  Cocaine Bear movie was fun, then you'll really love the possible spin-off , "Cocaine sharks." Yup. It's a real thing. They are lurking off the sunny coast of Florida, and it's not just their teeth that are razor-sharp!

According to OutKick, thousands of sharks cruising through the ocean, munching on their usual fishy snacks, only to come across a real treasure trove – bricks of cocaine! Now, I know what you're thinking. This sounds like a plot cooked up in the mind of a slightly high B-movie screenwriter. But this the real deal! And believe it or not, it's going to be a Shark Week documentary.

You see, down in Florida, it's not uncommon for bales of cocaine to wash up on the beaches. Those sneaky smugglers leave them floating in the ocean like little surprise packages for their colleagues in motorboats. So, if you find a shark chatting it up with a sea turtle... you know what's up!

Cocaine Sharks Lurk:

Remember that infamous turtle with a straw stuck up its nose? The one that had all of humanity swearing off straws for good? Yeah, turns maybe he was hanging out with a shark. I bet that turtle was just partying a little too hard with its new shark buddies, trying to impress them with some "snort-les"!

Now, you may be wondering who the genius behind this documentary is. Well, brace yourselves. It's none other than biologist Tom Hird. According to Hird, this whole crazy adventure serves as a cautionary tale about chemicals and drugs seeping into our waterways and oceans. The documentary airs on Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" on July 26th. But really, all I can think about is a bunch of sharks circling around, jittery and paranoid, trying to avoid each other's crazy conspiracy theories. It's equal parts terrifying and hilarious.

So, prepare yourselves for a wild ride into the underwater world of coked-out sharks. You thought Jaws was scary? Wait till you see these sharks swimming around with wild eyes, sweating profusely. Cocaine Sharks will make you think twice before hitting the beach, and it'll give a whole new meaning to the phrase "fish party."

Best Shark Movies

Shark Week kicks off this Sunday and in anticipation of one of my favorite TV weeks of the year, I want to hunker down and watch some shark movies this weekend and I've put together a list of some of the best.

We don't have to worry too much about shark attacks here on the west coast, but the east coast is a different story, in fact a 16 year-old was just bit in New York earlier this week, so thankfully for us watching these flicks is more fiction than reality.

You've probably seen JAWS by now, but maybe there's some others you haven't seen yet. They're not in any particular order (except Jaws because obviously that's #1) and not all of these would I give A+ ratings too, but they're fun, or ridiculous, nonetheless.

Best Shark Movies To Watch During Shark Week:

"Jaws"

"Open Water"

"Deep Blue Sea"

"The Meg"

"Jaws 2"

"The Reef"

"The Shallows"

"Sharknado"

"47 Meters Down"

"Shark"

"Sanctum"

"Deep Blue Sea"
