The Bottle Cap Challenge is a viral trend that started sometime in June 2019. While the origins of the trend are uncertain (though The New York Times credits taekwondo champion Farabi Davletchin with jump-starting the challenge), the feat itself is fairly straightforward: Participants try to remove the cap from a bottle in extravagant ways, usually using martial-arts-style kicks.
The challenge is particularly popular on Twitter and Instagram, and most videos are accompanied by #BottleCapChallenge. It has also spread on other social media sites, notably Reddit, and numerous celebrities have participated.
So, how are people kicking the caps off of bottles? Most loosen the caps so theyâre barely on the bottle in the first place. To prevent the bottle from falling over, participants usually secure the bottle (or have a friend hold it, slightly off camera).
Hereâs action star Jason Statham successfully completing the challenge.

That was a response to musician John Mayerâs successful attempt.

Of course, this being the internet, people have been putting their own twists (no pun intended) on the feat. Mariah Carey took part in the challenge with this (somewhat dubious) video.
Challenge accepted! #bottlecapchallenge

Weâre not acoustic scientists, but a human voice canât really...do that. Some challenge attempts are less successful than others, as actor Ryan Reynolds showed.

Twitter users recently pounced on Kendall Jenner for taking the challenge at sea, depositing a plastic cap into the waterâJenner did say, however, that the cap was recovered.
Rap legend Snoop Dogg posted a profanity-laced tirade on Instagram, asking, in so many words, why people are engaging in such tomfoolery.
We have no idea, Snoop. Our advice: Donât worry about it. Either you enjoy this trend, or you donâtâand if itâs not your thing, nobodyâs forcing you to participate.
a bottle cap is on the top of a bottle, the size of the bottle is what determines the size of the cap. psypocalipse out.
It depends on whether it is a plastic cap - as in a bottle of soft drink - or a metal cap - as in a beer bottle.
A bottle cap is an inclined plane. I am not sure exactly why.
Fold it in half.
no
the metal cap will expand , and it will be easier to remove the cap from the bottle
first you find a metal bottle cap then pour flammable nail polish remover in the bottle cap then light it fire
Top if cap to bottle and hat if a head cap
