bottle flipping

Rotation landing challenge

Bottle flipping is tossing a partially filled plastic water bottle so it rotates in the air and lands upright on its base.

The trick became a viral sensation among teenagers around 2016, spawning competitions and countless videos.

The water's weight shifts during rotation, helping the bottle stick the landing: He spent the whole lunch period bottle flipping.
