Someone looked at the ice cream float—a dessert that’s been working fine in regular glasses since 1874—and decided it needed to be portable. The Fizz is a plastic cup that screws directly onto the neck of a two-liter soda bottle, letting you build an ice cream float that travels.
What It Actually Does
The Fizz threads onto standard plastic soda bottles, creating a makeshift cup at the top. You drop ice cream into the cup portion, and the carbonated beverage below does what it’s always done: fizz up into the ice cream. The difference is now your float is attached to a giant plastic bottle, which apparently solves a problem no one knew they had.
Who Would Buy This
This is for people who love ice cream floats but refuse to eat them in stationary locations. Maybe you’re headed to a park and think hauling a two-liter bottle with a scoop of vanilla melting on top sounds easier than just making the float when you arrive. Or perhaps you’re the kind of person who sees a bottle of root beer and thinks, “This needs a hat.”
The Verdict
The Fizz turns your soda bottle into a top-heavy dessert tower that’s one bump away from disaster. It’s mobile the way a wheelbarrow full of soup is mobile—technically possible, but you’re going to have questions about your choices halfway through the trip.
