Woman Flips Pen Into Can With Butt And Starts New Internet Craze

It’s the booty flip seen around the world or at least around the internet.

On March 3, Sydney Vermilyea, a student at Occidental College near Los Angeles, kicked off a viral meme when she posted a video on Twitter of something she called the #bootyflipchallenge

The stunt basically requires a person to stick their posterior near a trash can while another person throws a pen at them.

The first person is then supposed to flip the pen into the trash can with a simple flip of their booty (hence the name).

Spoiler alert: It’s not easy, hence the use of the word “challenge.”

Check it out using the magic of “GIF-arama”:

It’s impressive. Note the smug look on Vermilyea’s face when she completes the flip successfully.

Others have since taken up the #bootyflipchallenge, some with more success than others.

It remains to be seen whether the #bootyflipchallenge will become as big or annoying as other meme crazes like the Mannequin Challenge, planking, Tebowing or owling .
