Let me begin by saying that with the diet plan that we're on, there's NO WAY we would do anything with a tortilla at this point other than devour and savor it. <g>  Most of the time we're anti-TikTok challenges as they usually involve doing things that either are damaging to property or person-neither of which is good.  However this ‘Tortilla Challenge’ with the hashtag #tortillachallenge has 173 million views on TikTok and is pretty funny.  And, I add, might be the reason you can’t find tortillas on your grocery shelves.

The challenge involves you standing face to face with someone holding a mouth full of water taking turns slapping each other in the face with a tortilla. The first person to spit out their water loses. Jimmy Fallon even got in on the challenge with Demi Lovato for the “Tonight Show” TikTok Account.
