Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk! Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a purple soda can from the Bonk! company, sporting the tagline "Manliness guaranteed!".
When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal mini-crits for 6 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, mini-crits can also be inflicted against the Scout by any enemy for the duration; therefore, Crit-a-Cola is better suited for players who can avoid taking fire while dealing considerable damage to opponents.

Bugs
- Similar to Bonk!, drinking a Crit-a-Cola with the Sandman equipped removes the Scout's baseball. If the ball's recharge meter is full, it will go to zero, as if the ball had been launched. However, the ball will return as normal after the recharge is complete.
- Being hit by Natascha while drinking will interrupt the drinking process. This cancels the use, but still counts as consumption, and as such drains the recharge meter.
- The lines said by a Scout while under the effects of Crit-a-Cola are the same as his Bonk! Atomic Punch lines, despite their obviously different functions.
- Since the April 14, 2011 Patch, the 24 second recharge for drinking Crit-a-Cola is gone
Trivia
- Crit-a-Cola was designed and created one day before its release.[1] Upon its release, it had the same model, texture, and particle effects as Bonk! Atomic Punch.
- The weapon's name is a play on popular soft-drink brand name 'Coca-Cola'. It also sounds like the word 'critical' spoken with unusual emphasis.
