It’s official: we’ve reached peak shark.
Bonobos, the online clothing retailer for men, reached out to Twitter with one vital question: should they or should they not create and sell the dancing shark costume from Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show? Since this is the internet, we all know what the resounding answer was.
You asked, we delivered. Introducing the @Bonobos #SharkSuit. RT to make it happen. http://t.co/DfaYUSSGkD #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/B1uev2rvqP

However, Bonobos may have underestimated the public’s desire for unwieldy shark costumes.
“We have thousands of emails,” Bonobos CEO Andy Dunn wrote in an email [to Re/code]. “Most-liked Instagram for us of the year. The world is a funny place.”
The landing page the company tweeted now redirects to the homepage. We may continue to live a sharkless existence. But we’ll always have Left Shark.
