Make the spin count
How to make the food wheel useful
A wheel works best after impossible choices are removed. Keep only options you could realistically eat today, then let chance settle the final tie.
Edit before you spin
Remove anything unavailable, too expensive, or clearly unwanted. Add the two or three dishes already being debated.
Use your first reaction
Relief means the wheel did its job. Disappointment usually reveals what you wanted instead.
Keep the list short
Six realistic choices are more useful than twenty foods nobody in the room would actually choose.
