More about the Rizzler and his recent collaboration with Arizona Beverages

The Rizzler, whose real name is Christian Joseph Savasta, has 1.7 million followers on TikTok. His first viral moment came when his father uploaded a video of him dressed in a Black Panther costume. Since then, the young social media sensation has achieved enormous fame, even appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2024.

According to Dexerto, Arizona Beverages had launched a marketing stunt earlier this year by teasing a possible collaboration with The Rizzler, as part of an April Fool's prank. Soon, the post went viral, prompting the company to make the collaboration a reality. The new drink, which is called RizzBerry, shall be launched in October. It combines several flavors, including strawberry, raspberry, blue raspberry, cherry, blackberry, and apple.

Talking about the drink, The Rizzler said:

"[The drink is] fizzy and tastes like berry juice…sweet but not too sweet.”

Earlier this year, in April, The Rizzler had also collaborated with Nintendo during the release of their game Donkey Kong Country Returns. Back in July, The Rizzler, who had attended the San Diego Comic Con, met and played Mario Kart with well-known stars such as the cast of "The Abbott Elementary," and also the likes of Jacob Anderson, who was there to discuss the upcoming third season of the hit AMC series, "The Interview with The Vampire."

Jacob Anderson later spoke about playing Mario Kart with The Rizzler in an interview with The Vulture. He was initially thought to have lost to The Rizzler, but clarified that he had actually won. He further added that although he did play with The Rizzler, he had no idea who he was at that time. He said:

"I don't know who The Rizzler was. I'm sorry. He was very sweet. But I thought he was somebody's son. This little boy came and sat beside me, and I was like, 'do you play a lot of Mario Kart? Do your friends in school like Mario Kart' I was trying to be nice to somebody's child...No I won..But let's just say The Rizzler won because he is nine. Yeah I didn't realize..I didn't know who he was and I like came away and then he has like [close to] two million followers and could probably buy my house. We love The Rizzler, cause he has soo much rizz."

As part of his campaign for his collaboration with the popular soft drink brand, The Rizzler visited the Arizona Beverages production factory in New Jersey alongside the company's CEO, Don Vultaggio.
