Trick shot challenge for merch dropfrom @calgarymercedesbenz

Overview
A man sets up a challenge, stating via text overlay that if he successfully throws an object into a branded mug, they will release merchandise. He throws the object, but a second person's hand enters the frame and drops a different object into the mug, comically ensuring the 'success' of the challenge to announce the merch drop.
