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.

Trivia
- As with Bonk! Atomic Punch, Crit-a-Cola cans use a pull-tab opening mechanism, first invented in 1956, as opposed to a stay-on-tab mechanism, which was popularized in the 1970s and is used on most canned beverages nowadays.
- 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 Crit-a-Cola and Bonk! Atomic Punch list the ingredients as water, radiation, and sugar. Several lines of random letters also appear on the label itself.
