If you haven’t seen the bottle cap challenge yet, you’ve probably been living under a rock. The idea is to deliver a perfect roundhouse kick to the top of a bottle, knocking the twist cap off without knocking over the bottle.
This list of challengers in the country music world who’ve made the effort is relatively small, but fun. Like Blake Shelton, for example, who tried it on a bottle of his own brand Smithworks Vodka… and the results are funny, but not great.
Songwriter and comedian Joe Denim put his own “spin” on it, also using a bottle of Vodka (his was Tito’s), but instead of a roundhouse kick, he did a roundhouse… uh.. guitar. Watch here.
Blanco Brown (of “The Git Up” fame on our Nashville Now station) tried it TWICE. Well, kind of. He was trying to follow Mariah Carey’s example of knocking it off with a high note (I call shenanigans). First, with a plastic water bottle.
And then, with glass. It still didn’t work, but props for hitting the same note, dude. DANG. Check it out here.
A quick search of #bottlecapchallenge on Instagram shows there’s no shortage of people trying this, so it’s just a matter of time before we get them from other people. You know who should do this? Carrie Underwood. She’s super fit and with those legs she could do any dang thing. Come on girl, get on this!
