Because bacteria multiply exponentially the time it takes for the next bottle to fill will be much lower compared to the original.

The bacteria took more time to double from 1 cell to a bottle full of cells. Once the bottle was full, each cell in the full bottle doubled, causing an additional bottle to be filled in 5 minutes. Then the 2 full bottles doubled in the next 5 minutes, causing all 3 bottles to be full.
