This viral video hit the web yesterday and has already garnered over 127,000 views and over 4,600 likes on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentos-fizzookas-rocket). The video’s popularity comes from a large user base already familiar with the Fruit Ninja [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnight-film) app. The animated game is fairly simple, yet extremely satisfying to play. Just as seen in the video, users control a ninja holding a sword as fruit is hurled at him. He uses his pinpoint ninja accuracy to slice through the middle of every piece of fruit, but must be careful not to cut through the bombs that appear from time to time.
