Spin the bottle is a party game in which several players sit/stand/kneel in a circle. A bottle is placed on the floor in the center of the circle. A player spins the bottle, and must kiss the person to whom the bottle points when it stops spinning. It is popular among teenagers. There are a very large number of variants. One variant is that instead, two players must hug within 5 seconds, otherwise, they have to kiss in 10 seconds and if the 10 seconds are up and they haven't kissed, they have to French kiss. Variations allow for other tasks to be accomplished. It can also be used to decide the player for another game such as Truth or Dare? Certain variations also include penalties.

Even though it might be played occasionally by young teenagers, its fortune has declined starting from the 1990s. Spin the bottle was very popular among teenagers over the second half of the 20th century because it fostered "sexual" interactions between boys and girls. It has even been defined as the party game of choice for glandularly excited high schoolers. Spin the bottles has been nowadays mostly superseded by drinking games.

"Spin the Bottle" is episode 6 of season 4 in the television show Angel. Written and directed by series creator Joss Whedon, it was originally broadcast on November 10, 2002 on the WB television network. In "Spin the Bottle", Lorne performs a magic spell on Cordelia to help her regain her memory, but instead the spell causes all the Angel Investigations members to revert to their teenage personae.

Spin The Bottle is a Manhattan-based media company that creates original programming and content across multiple platforms, including TV, VOD, mobile and broadband sites. The company was founded in 1995 by Emmy winner Tad Low and Woody Thompson. Four of the company's titles have reached #1 in the prime-time slot for their respective networks, including:

• Pop-Up Video, the cultural phenomenon that debuted in 1996 on the then-flagging VH1, later earning 11 Emmy nominations. The series continues to air in prime-time on VH1 Classic.
• Video IQ, the first triple-platform interactive game show in the U.S. (credited with tripling the Fuse network’s time slot ratings).
• Subway Q&A, which earned ten local Emmys for Cablevision’s Metro Channel.
• Pants-Off Dance-Off, which made both Blender and GQ magazines’ “Best of 2006” lists and became the most watched series in Fuse’s history. The series also premiered on Viacom’s VIVA in the UK in 2009 as part of its inaugural launch programming and premiered on Canada’s MuchMusic in 2010.

Spin The Bottle's more recent television series include Pet-O-Rama, Best Places Ever I’ve Ever Been, TXT MSG & Photo ID, which premiered in 2010 on Animal Planet, The Travel Channel, MSG Network & FiOS, respectively.

Spin The Bottle also maintains the long-running entertainment website spinthebottle.com. Original programs include The Truth About (a “Pop-Up Video”-style treatment of breaking news items), First Impressions (an interactive man-on-the-street game), The Baby Taddie Show (a travel series hosted by an opinionated puppet baby) and Spin The Bottle Live (a webcast house party / live music program).

The inventive and playfully subversive spirit of these programs has garnered considerable recognition for Low and his network. Legendary NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff told New York magazine that Tad was “one of the great original minds I have seen in my 20 years of television.” The New York Times has called him “an MTV-style Studs Terkel” while Entertainment Weekly crowned him one of “The 100 Most Creative People In Entertainment.”
