Somewhere behind a food truck parked near downtown Hamilton, a little bottle of soda was chilling on ice, dreaming big. He wasn’t just any drink — he was Fizz, the one with endless bubbles and a laugh that could be heard over the music.

Fizz was born to lift spirits. Every pop of his cap meant a new smile, every sparkle of his fizz carried a bit of joy. He loved watching people dance, laugh, and celebrate, even if he was just sitting on the counter, waiting to be opened.

But Fizz wasn’t just about refreshment. Deep inside, he wanted to be more than a drink that cools you down. He wanted to make people feel alive, to turn moments into memories and strangers into friends.

When he heard about the Hamilton Burger Festival, he knew it was the perfect place for him. A celebration full of flavors, laughter, and energy just like him. He rolled his way through coolers, passed the popcorn stand, and bubbled with excitement as he imagined joining the biggest food party in the city.

“If life doesn’t fizz… make it sparkle.”

He didn’t know it yet, but at that very festival, he was about to meet someone who would change everything — a burger with a golden smile named Poppi.

In a little kitchen by a park in Hamilton, a very special burger was born. She didn’t just have the fluffiest buns and the cheesiest smile; she had a sparkle that could melt even the coldest Canadian winter. Her name was Poppi.

From the very first sizzle on the grill, Poppi knew she wasn’t made just to fill stomachs. She wanted to fill hearts with joy. While other burgers dreamed of fancy menus and TV commercials, Poppi dreamed of something different: a place where everyone—kids, families, chefs, and foodies—could celebrate flavor, friendship, and good vibes together.

That dream came true at the Hamilton Burger Festival. There, Poppi became the heart of the festival, greeting everyone, dancing with the fries, and spreading positive energy everywhere she went.

“A great burger isn’t just cooked… it’s shared.”

And even though Poppi is already a festival favorite, she knows her story is only just beginning—because soon, she’s about to meet someone who will add bubbles to her world: Fizz, the fizziest soda in the country.
