'The Hacksmith' is taking the internet’s favorite soda science experiment to explosive new heights in an electrifying collaboration with Mentos. Known for turning sci-fi concepts into real engineering feats, the Kitchener-based YouTube creator has built the 'Mentos Fizzooka' -- a high-powered launcher fueled by the iconic Mentos and cola reaction.
This is a viral-worthy invention and a cross-platform campaign that fuses digital play with hands-on innovation. For two weeks, Fortnite Creative players can wield the Fizzooka in top maps like 'Piece Control 1v1' and 'Sky Wars.' Meanwhile, the real-life version, crafted by The Hacksmith’s team, blasts soda with firehose-like force -- pure, fizzy chaos brought to life with Canadian ingenuity.
To amplify the fun, 30 physical Fizzookas have landed in the hands of influencers across the globe, turning a classroom experiment into an international spectacle.
