I don't know how it did it, but dis actually makes me more handsome!
The Scout on Crit-a-Cola's benefits

Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk! Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a purple soda can manufactured by the Bonk! company, and sports the tagline 'Manliness guaranteed!'.

When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal mini-crits for 8 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, each attack while under the effect adds a Marked-For-Death debuff for 5 seconds, which does not stack.

Trivia

  • As with Bonk! Atomic Punch, the Crit-a-Cola can uses a pull-tab opening mechanism; first invented in 1956, it was phased out with the current opening mechanism in the late 1970s.
  • Crit-a-Cola was designed and created one day before its release.[1] Upon its release, it had the same texture and particle effects as Bonk! Atomic Punch.
  • The weapon's name is a play on the popular soft-drink brand name Coca-Cola.
  • The labels for Bonk! Atomic Punch and Crit-a-Cola list the ingredients as water, radiation, and sugar. Several lines of random letters also appear on the label itself.
