In 2016, the activity of water bottle flipping became an international trend. Many people posted attempts of the water bottle flipping challenge online. The activity consists of flicking a water bottle, typically a third full of water to increase success rate, with the bottom away from you such that the bottle somersaults and lands top end up. The activity contains an array of complex physics such as fluid dynamics and angular momentum which has sparked detailed interest in the precision of the action. However, due to the noise it makes during repetitive practice, it has been criticised as a disturbance and has consequently been banned in numerous schools around the world.
