Rock ... paper ... scissors ... says ... Tortilla Slap.
New Jersey Devils forwards Dawson Mercer and Nathan Bastian participated in the "tortilla slap" social media challenge. They played rock-paper-scissors and the winner of each round got to slap the other player in the face with a tortilla. Each player had a mouthful of water and couldn't laugh or spit it out. Whoever did a spit-take first, lost.
As it turns out, Mercer and Bastian are true professional... tortilla slappers. Each broke a tortilla in the process. Neither spit out their water, but Dawson did walk away victorious thanks to his more lethal tortilla slaps.
