Fizz-Nik was a product marketed by the United States beverage company 7 Up.
The Fizz-Nik was modeled after the "Astro-Float" product, which was released shortly beforehand by the Coca Cola Company.
Reflecting upon this trend, 7 Up named their similar product after the Russian "Sputnik".
The Fizz-Nik design was intended to create an instant ice cream float or to instantly chill soda as it passes through the bubble, which would be placed into the opening of the glass soda bottle.
Soupy Sales would do a live demonstration of the product using ice cream that had melted under the studio lights, then assemble the device incorrectly, causing the concoction to spill all over himself, the demonstration table and the studio floor.
