Genius couple finds answer to the 'what should we have for dinner' problem

Now the wheel will decide.

The most trying time in any relationship is every single time you try to decide what to eat.

Often, one person will make suggestions that the other constantly turns down. Or sometimes one person in the relationship just "doesn't care what we eat," and will say "you decide" or "it doesn't matter."

Those statements are the least helpful input a person could ever give.

Redditor OceanSlim has felt these very same pains, and decided to do something about it. Presenting: the food decision wheel!

What a fantastic way to repurpose a children's toy, although the knife in the photo is a little much.

Perhaps even more interesting, other Redditors were able to quickly figure out where OceanSlim was from based on the local restaurants that were included on the wheel. And suddenly it felt like everyone from that city showed up to join the conversation, commenting with their own restaurant suggestions.

Other Redditors contributed websites with the same function as the wheel OceanSlim made, such as Wheel Decide and Wheel of Lunch.

These fantastic resources will allow you to recreate this very decision wheel. Rejoice, for you too will be saved from the worst part of any relationship.
