The Soda : NOCCO is a sugar-free, low-calorie functional energy drink from Sweden
 
From a Comment :FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, BUT THEN THOUGHT YOU KNEW BECAUSE YOU READ SOMEONE'S ELSE'S COMMENT THAT SAID THAT'S A "330 POUND DUMBBELL"... It's actually an XMASTER 160 KG GOLD (plated) DUMBBELL (350 pounds). You can partly see the logo when the last girl picks it up.
 
Genuine videos, but the guy who posts them (mainly the Swedish TikToker @hissy_0) is a prankster. What the people attempting the challenge (for which he sometimes offers a cash prize) don’t know is that the dumbbell has a particularly thick handle, designed such that you can’t wrap a hand fully round it securely, without it slipping from your grasp; and it’s short such that you can’t get two hands side by side into the space between the weights.

The challenge is then more of a triumph of technique over strength, for which you need to employ something like a two-handed hook grip, overlapping your hands and wedging them together in the available gap so the handle can’t spin out of your grip, and positioning your centre of gravity directly over it. You still need to be pretty strong to sustain the lift but, after those who think they are strong enough have tried and failed, he embarrasses them by bringing in someone (like that girl) who doesn’t look strong enough, but is well-versed in the technique.

It’s essentially a modern variation of the ‘trick’ used by the professional strongman Thomas Inch, who spent his final years in the town where I live up until his death in 1963. There’s a strong suspicion that Inch used an additional wrist-strap to make it even easier for him to repeat the feat multiple times to impress people. Scroll down to ‘Thomas Inch dumbbell’ at this Wiki link:
