This week, we at cartoon Saturdays remember the Snorks. We just don't remember much about it.

The Snorks was an NBC cartoon set underwater with creatures blessed by evolution to have snorkels on their heads. They were popular, though not overly so, and this gave rise to a lot of merchandise. Generally it was typical 80's cartoon merchandise like lunchboxes (as pictured), puffy stickers and plush toys. Like the Smurfs, another NBC cartoon of the same vintage, they also had a variety of small pvc plastic figurines of the different characters. We remember the main difference being that the snorkels on the Snorks' heads were poseable (even though the rest of them was not).
