How to use the fast food restaurant wheel

  1. 1

    Spin the wheel while on the road or in your car.

  2. 2

    Navigate to the nearest branch of the selected franchise.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Road Trip Drive-Thru Spin: Pull into whichever chain the wheel selects at the next highway exit.
  • Late Night Run: Settle the midnight study snack debate fairly.

End the backseat debate

Everyone says they do not mind, then vetoes every suggestion. The wheel lists ten popular drive-thru chains with equal odds and picks one before the driver reaches the next exit.

Agree on the rule first: whatever comes up is the stop, unless someone has an allergy or a dietary reason. Then enjoy the food instead of the argument.

Making it local

Replace the chains with the ones near you, and add local favorites. Remove places that are too far, closed at night or not suitable for someone in the car. Names are used only to identify places and do not imply any partnership.

Making the wheel work for a road trip

On a highway, you cannot choose a chain that is not at the next exit. Keep a short list of what is near you, and spin as soon as someone says they are hungry. If the result is not on your route, remove it and spin again.

Add any dietary needs to your rules before you start, and let the driver have a veto for safety.

Can I stop the same result coming up twice?
