I don't know how it did it, but dis actually makes me more handsome!
The Scout on his new soda's benefits

Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a canned soda with a purple label, manufactured by the Bonk! company.

Upon ingestion, Crit-a-Cola gives the Scout the ability to deal Mini-Crits for 8 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, making any attack while under the effect immediately causes a 5 second Marked-For-Death debuff. Making additional attacks while this debuff is active resets its duration.

As the process of drinking Crit-a-Cola is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater.
