Florida-based lockmaker Proven Industries posted a video online bragging that its $130 trailer lock could survive anything. YouTuber and former Marine Trevor McNally took up that challenge. Breaking supposedly unbreakable locks is his entire thing. That’s his YouTube bread and butter.

So, of course, he was able to effortlessly break Proven’s “unbreakable” lock with a strip of aluminum peeled off a can of Liquid Death, the seltzer water with the preposterously hardcore branding. He did all that just after he finished off a juice box. That seems like a random, totally inconsequential fact to mention, but it will be important later.

Anyway, Proven Industries sued him. It didn’t turn out so well for them.
