How did this unexpected collaboration bring explosive fun to the battlefield?

Fortnite Creative got a refreshing twist as Mentos introduced the 'Fizzooka' - a custom rocket launcher that brings the iconic Coke and Mentos experiment to the virtual battleground. This innovative activation lets players blast opponents with explosive soda geysers, merging science experiment nostalgia with Fortnite's signature gameplay.

What Made the Collaboration Stand Out

The Fizzooka weapon revolutionized Fortnite Creative with its unique mechanics, destroying builds with single shots of fizzy mayhem. Beyond the digital realm, Mentos partnered with YouTube's The Hacksmith to create real-life 3-foot replicas, distributing 30 units to global influencers. The activation spanned 20+ markets with integrated influencer campaigns and social media buzz.

Why It Matters to Marketers

This collaboration demonstrated how brands can creatively integrate into gaming culture without official partnerships. By tapping into Gen Z's love of both gaming and viral science experiments, Mentos achieved authentic cultural relevance. The multi-platform approach - blending in-game items with real-world replicas - showed how to maximize impact across digital and physical spaces.
