Fast food spin wheel. Spin for the drive-thru decision
Twelve of the biggest fast food chains sit on the wheel. Press SPIN and the drive-thru argument is over, every chain at an exactly equal chance. Spin the wheel, fast food decided: swap in the places actually near you, or load the burger, pizza, or taco quick fills, and go eat.
Anything can win. That's the deal.
- McDonald's
- Burger King
- Wendy's
- Taco Bell
- Chick-fil-A
- KFC
- Subway
- Chipotle
- Five Guys
- Domino's
- Popeyes
- Pizza Hut
How does the fast food wheel work?
Each chain gets an identical slice and the spin picks one at random: McDonald's holds no advantage over Popeyes, whatever your passenger believes. The result comes from a random seed drawn when you press SPIN, and the seed rides in the share link, so the back seat can replay the exact spin instead of accusing the front of rigging it.
The one rule that makes it work: keep only chains you'd genuinely eat at. The wheel chooses among places you already said yes to, which is why nobody sulks at the window. Your edits save in your browser, the same wheel is waiting at next week's lunch hour.
What should go on your fast food wheel?
Your real radius, not the national list: the six or seven drive-thrus you actually pass, plus the regional ones the presets can't guess, like In-N-Out out west, Whataburger in Texas, Culver's across the Midwest, and the one-location taco truck that beats them all. If a chain isn't within fifteen minutes, it's just noise on the wheel; cut it.
For road trips, play the exit game: before the spin, everyone gets one veto. After the spin, none. The wheel's verdict is final at 70 miles an hour, and the sticker share settles which back-seat critic picked the winner.
One spin for the chain, one for the order
Indecision survives the parking lot, so chain the spins: this wheel decides where, then replace the list with that menu's contenders (burger, nuggets, the wrap nobody admits to liking) and spin for what. And if lunch keeps landing on the same place every Friday, switch on "Remove the winner after each spin" and the month can't repeat itself.
Fair questions
- Can I change the chains on the wheel?
- Yes. Every chip is removable with its ×, and anything you type is spinnable, including local spots no preset knows about. Your list stays saved in your browser, not on a server.
- What if it lands somewhere that's closed or too far?
- That's a list problem, not a wheel problem: trim the wheel to places that are actually open and reachable before you spin. One honest re-spin is allowed; three means you wanted Taco Bell all along.
- Is the wheel sponsored by any chain?
- No. Brand names are just labels on the slices, every chain gets an exactly equal chance, and no result is ever paid for. It's a free toy, unaffiliated with any restaurant.
- Can it pick what I order too?
- Yes. Spin for the chain first, then swap the list for that menu's shortlist and spin again. Two spins, zero debate, food in hand.
