Teen Who Invented Viral Bottle-Flipping Craze Apologizes for Distracting Kids

The man who created a viral phenomenon apologized as backlash grows against the bottle-flipping craze for drawing children away from their schoolwork. "I want to apologize to all teachers, it's not my intention, not my intention at all, to get your kids distracted," 18-year-old Michael Senatore told Inside Edition. Some schools now want to ban bottle-flipping because they say it's distracting students from their work. The Wall Street Journal called bottle-flipping "really, really annoying." #InsideEdition

People still do this and it's been almost four years. This guy is a legend.

It's NOT his fault.
It's the kids fault.
He does not do anything wrong.
The teacher were all idiots.

It was banned at my school until we got a new principal...




The new principal introduced himself with a bottle flip on stage.


Why

[gerrilynstockley]

You wanna know who should be apologizing....The person who invented pencil tapping

[Gnjh]

Someone at my school tried to flip it to the other side of the classroom and it hit a girl in the face.

[InsertCN]

[nathaneabbott]

[paralangara]

[double__]

[sabiakhan]

Why am I watching this 2 years later? 😂

[ethanwunder]

How much do you wanna bet that the people who hated it were teachers and moms named Karen

[Thrnd]

I flipped a bottle in math class, my teacher saw it, and started to talk about the math behind it and stuff, and Said we should flip often :)

[IAmNotHim]

I swear to god, this is the logic in my school

*1 bottle flip*

Teacher: suspended

[xXLethalWolfXx]

Literally ANYTHING CAN distract a kid from school. So to go as far as to ban it just doesn't make sense to me.

[rosieyup]

I really feel sorry for him its literally not his *FAULT* This guy is really nice to think about apologizing instead of ignoring it

[lionpridereactions]

the guy did not create bottle flippin he just made it viral

[hankjones]

I capped it and everyone screamed in my classroom. Got sent to the principals office. Worth it.

[daniellloyd]
