REFRESHING FLOATS ANYTIME, ANYWHERE - Enjoy scrumptious ice cream floats using the Fizz Cup! Simply fill these ice cream cups with your favorite sundae and easily twist them onto soda bottles.
As the customer squeezes the bottle, the soda begins to fizz and creates an on-the-go root beer float.
David told the sharks that The Fizz had grossed $84,000 in sales, in the year prior to filming. These sales were generated from various ice cream stores, festivals, and vendors.
The cups do not come pre-filled with ice cream, and many of the sharks expressed initial concerns about the fact that no soda companies or ice cream brands had partnered with David for a licensing agreement.

Kevin O’Leary liked the product, but not enough to invest so he too went out.
With no offers from the sharks, David was forced to leave
