Orange Fizz

Orange <choose uncached><option>Fizz</option><option>Rizz</option></choose> is a plant in Plants vs Zombies 2 added in the 11.4.1 version. Orange Fizz is a manual plant that will release a strong soda flow when tapped. This projectile will last for 5 seconds, pushing back the zombie at the front and any zombie caught in the pushback. After those 5 seconds have passed, Orange Fizz will need to recharge for 13 seconds before being able to be used again.
Orange Fizz's pushback sends zombies back 1 tile per second, meaning it will send the zombie at the front of the pack a total of 5 tiles. For other zombies to be pushed back, they need to be within the 5 tile range that the zombie at the front will traverse, and they will all end up at the last tile of said range.
Orange Fizz was released alongside Aquamarine Bean as Summer Nights exclusive plants. They are both purchasable for Gems during the month of July, afterwards they leave the until the next year or if a special offer is available.
==Origins==
		Orange Fizz is based on an orange, the fruit of a tree in the family Rutaceae, and soda, any water-based flavored drink, usually but not necessarily carbonated, and typically including added sweetener. His name comes from the fact that soda usually fizzes and creates lots of bubbles, which in this case is what activates Orange Fizz's ability.
		As mentioned in his flavor text, Orange Fizz is also based on an orange soda, more specifically of the Fanta brand. His saturated color is closer to that of the soft drink rather than the fruit itself, enhancing his relation to the object.

==Strategy==
Orange Fizz is an important tool for your defense, as he has the capability of constantly sending zombies back a relatively far distance whenever you want. Having the choice of usage is pivotal for a plant of this sort, because it gives the option to hold back his power for a more advantageous scenario. Since he has limited ammo that must be recharged, knowing when and how to use his pushback is a key part of Orange Fizz's strength.
There are a myriad of ways to use Orange Fizz to get a desired outcome, but the most notable advice is to place him around the middle of the lane. Given his regular range, he will not be able to fully push zombies back to the beginning of the lane like if placed too left in the lawn, so it is recommended to have him around the fourth or fifth tile, alongside a supporting defensive unit for maximum power.
One detail that should not go unnoticed about Orange Fizz is the fact that his pushback is unaffected by bigger zombies. His ability can target the weakest threats and the toughest opponents with no repercussions, making him absolutely valuable when facing strong foes such as . 
Of course, Orange Fizz comes with one weakness to balance him out, that being his reload time. Having a highly noticeable period of inactivity between shots is a bit of a detriment for Orange Fizz, rendering him ineffective against quick zombies that can easily overcome the pushback ability. s and Weasels are especially strong against him because they will rapidly return to their original spot after being targetted by Orange Fizz. This remarkable shortcoming makes him a more useful plant for slower but sturdier zombies, which will have trouble moving forward after having been pushed back so much.
Overall, Orange Fizz comes with its kinks and perks that turn him into a niche staller. Given his attributes and overall statistics, he is more ideal for levels packed with stronger zombies that will not overwhelm his slow cadence.
