Crush a 1975 'Gansett throwback can while you watch Shark Week in honor of Robert Shaw, aka Captain Quint. The famous Jaws actor would have been 86 tomorrow. So we're reintroducing a 1970s can design featured in the movie ’’Jaws.’’
This design depicting a ship and a red diagonal stripe is being re-released temporarily in honor of the Discovery Channel’s ’’Shark Week,’’ which began Sunday. In the 1975 film, Capt. Sam Quint, the shark hunter played by the late Robert Shaw, crushes a can of ’Gansett with one hand to intimidate the oceanographer, Matt Hooper played by Richard Dreyfuss.
Look for this limited-edition can inside all 30pks, 18pks and 12pks at your participating retailer today.

Hi Joel,
Any of the stores that carry our 30pks, 18pks or 12pks will. They are the cans inside those packages.
Cheers!
I keep trying to find the 1975 throwback but all I get is the ’58. Can you tell me where I can find some of the “Quint cans” near Uxbridge MA?
