A Coke Bottle Collaboration With TikTok Commenters – Part 1 (Setting Up)

September 19, 2022

As you’re well aware, I love TikTok very much. You could argue I talk about it too much, but would that even be possible?

Anyway, on my FYP, I saw a video of a Coke bottle being opened underwater.

Later, I saw Hank Green talking about it on my FYP.

[The algorithm truly is top tier – how it will keep giving you pieces of stories. Like, the guy who ate the pancakes in the diner off a fantasy football bet – I saw everyone’s take on that…. And I saw a few different pieces of this Coke bottle/pool thing.]

So, then I later saw a video of him being curious what would happen if you opened it upside down.

Obviously, if there’s one thing I very much love to be, it’s a curious TikTok friend.

I was VERY lucky that they sold glass Coke bottles at the Ralph’s close by. I really thought those were gonna be harder to come by.

So, I took the Coke, a bottle opener (also from Ralph’s), and my GoPro out to the pool.

I feel like it’s probably kinda against the rules to open a Coke in the pool. But, I think it was fine. Nonetheless, I was trying to get in/get out! [That is not what really happened, for anyone wondering, because I ended up doing a whole second video.]

So, I try to set it up in a way that sort of makes sense. But I only have so many hands, and nothing to mount my GoPro with… I could try to put it on my head. But there’s no super room with my scuba mask (which would have the snorkel). I could put it on my head with only normal goggles (so I could open my eyes), but then are my person air bubbles gonna be getting in the way?

I guess I could just hold my breath completely, but it became a whole silly fool’s game. Ultimately, I sat on the steps (the furthest away from the security cameras I could get haha). Positioned the GoPro between my legs.

And I’ll pick up here tomorrow!

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
