5. Bottle Cap Challenge
We know this is not a TikTok challenge, but the latest challenge to take over social media is the Bottle Cap Challenge and only the fittest can strive for!
The act requires the highest level of martial arts finesse and great ability to kick with precision. The challenge was started by Taekwondo champion Fabri Devletchin which then got picked up in the world of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).
The deal is to kick a twist cap off the top of a bottle without spilling or knocking the bottle. The video then needs to be edited in slow-motion for everyone to really see.
Our very own Mehwish Hayat also took the challenge and guess what? She aced it!
