Crazy tic tac bounce!? | EVERYDAY MYSTERIES

My guess @1:59: vertical/horizontal motion ("translation") transfers to rotational motion, then back to horizontal/vertical motion?

The second bounce isn't as much dramatically higher than a normal "round ball"  bounce, but the first bounce is actually much *lower* due to energy going into rotation (and robbing the tic-tac of energy for "translation") on the first bounce. Then rotation goes "oops, I feel bad now for stealing your energy," and gives it back to translation upon the second bounce.
