Killer Shake
Killer Shake, a subsidiary of Killer Productions Company (now defunct) is a former brand of chocolate milk with a dessert-like style.
Designed to appeal to youth in the U.S., Killer Shake featured a surfer in apparent engagement with a killer shark—hence the same Killer Shake—while surfing a large wave. This design was especially appealing to surf culture during the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in Southern California.
