Brandin6

#loop tap the screen with rock, paper, or scissors; see if you can beat your phone. or play with your friend... vine.co/v/b1XEMIe2Q1T

— brandin6 (@Brand_in_6) February 2, 2013

This one is by far one of best examples of Vine that I have seen so far. Brandin6 took America's favorite method of choosing who would have to do something to another level. Instead of flipping a coin or drawing straws, Rock-Paper-Scissors became the go to method. Brandin6 developed this great Vine that could be played by yourself or with your friends. I can't think of a better way to decide whose buying the next round of drinks at happy hour!
