Diners at Applebee’s might think Shark Week has come early. The restaurant’s new Shark Bowl drink comes complete with a gummy shark, splashing his way through the icy, slushy blue drink.

“The shark that you’ll swim towards,” Applebee’s boasted in a Facebook post. “Our new Shark Bowl served Mucho is mixed with Captain Morgan and topped with a gummy shark.”

Applebee’s did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The drink itself is a 12-ounce frozen beverage that mixes tropical-fruit flavors with Captain Morgan rum, selling for about $7.50 depending on the restaurant, AOL reports.  It’s sold only at participating locations.

But does the shark-themed drink have bite? One review on Applebee’s Facebook post was kind of mixed. “My boyfriend got this today and it tastes just like a slushy, it's delicious,” wrote Lashona Mcauley. “I mean, there's not even that much alcohol in it of course, and the gummy shark is not very good, but the drink itself is pretty good.”
