Retsy Series 1 · Card 0112 · 80-BRK
Catch the wave. Turn your tongue blue.
Blue raspberry wave-shaped cereal with a lifeguard hammerhead shark mascot and a blue tongue guaranteed.
The story · 1989
Hank the hammerhead wore a red lifeguard tank and twirled a whistle, keeping order on the beach of every box. The wave pieces were so blue they stained the milk, the spoon and your whole tongue. Swimming lessons started on Saturdays, and every kid at the pool had the same blue grin.
Hank's hammerhead meant the box art showed him from the front, with one eye drawn on each edge of the panel.
