About
Uncle Sink Cigarette Flip, Vortex Chug, Let's Go, refers to a viral video in which TikToker UncleSink spits a cigarette from his mouth into the air, where it flips and lands back into his mouth, snarls, says, "Let's fucking go," then opens a beer bottle with his teeth, licks the bottle, then vortex chugs the beer. The video is one in a series and was uploaded to TikTok in mid-2022 and went viral on X, formerly Twitter, that year, inspiring edits where sound effects and other media are added over the original. The edits became increasingly popular in November 2023.
