Bruno the Strongman, a circus performer, proposes a challenge to the Mirinda Craver: he will reward him with a bottle of Orange Mirinda if he can lift a 1,000-pound dumbbell. The Craver cleverly insists Bruno demonstrate his strength first, taking hold of the coveted orange soda and leaving the audience-entertaining strongman in a humorous state of disappointment.
