After 3.5 tons of cocaine were found floating in the Pacific Ocean, Twitter started clamoring for a 'cocaine shark' movie.

Something strange has been found floating around in the Pacific Ocean.

New Zealand police discovered an odd floating object in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean. When they inspected it, they found 81 bales of cocaine packaged in bricks, tied up with string, and attached to buoys.


The cocaine located was worth approximately a half million New Zealand dollars, or £261 million.

The discovery came as part of Operation Hydros, which was designed to identify and monitor suspicious vessel movements.

Andrew Coster, The New Zealand Police Commissioner, said in an interview that he believes the drugs were destined for Australia.

“There is no doubt this discovery lands a major financial blow right from the South American producers through the distributors of this product.”

When social media users caught wind of the discovery, they did what we all expected them to do: had a good laugh.

Many of the commenters pointed out the similarities to Cocaine Bear and suggested that Cocaine Shark become a thing.



Others just found the humor in the strange situation.




While we are happy to know the drugs were confiscated and won't be circulating on the street, we must admit that the headline makes for an enticing movie idea.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
