Netizens are constantly thinking up new ways to ‘challenge’ others to do funny, difficult, silly, at times downright dangerous stuff. The latest such internet challenge to hit us is the #BottleCapChallenge. This one seems to have caught the attention of some celebs as well.
UFC (ultimate fighting championship) feather weight champion Max Holloway challenged John Meyer to do this: twist the cap of a bottle using a back spin kick only.
There was the manoeuvre – perfectly executed.
Martial arts exponents, fitness enthusiasts and others decided to accept the challenge – and show off their expertise.
OK, maybe not exactly like that.
The first kick gets the cap, the second one gets the bottle.
Well, not quite
Perhaps this sage was trying to say something like don’t kick someone who can’t kick back?
But then someone was holding the bottle; which made it significantly easier than if the bottle was freestanding on a surface.
This twitter user decided to kick things up – literally.
Not sure whether this was taking up a challenge or just settling personal scores.
Or rather, a case of overestimating one's abilities; more particularly one's roundhouse kick.
But at least no one got hurt.
Our homegrown martial arts expert and Bollywood star Akshay Kumar ‘couldn’t resist’ the #BottleCapChallenge. Apparently he was inspired by Jason Statham, who was challenged by John Meyer. Apparently what goes around keeps going around on the internet.
