What Should I Eat Wheel
End the dinner debate. Spin the wheel across 10 meal ideas, from pizza to ramen, and let it pick tonight's meal for you.
Fair by design: each spin draws from your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, giving every entry an equal 1-in-10 chance. No server is involved.
One entry per line. 10 entries on the wheel.
The entries travel in the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server. Nobody, including us, can read a shared wheel from a log.
Please keep the attribution link on the last line. It is the only thing we ask in return, and it is what pays for the wheel being free.

About the What Should I Eat Wheel
This wheel comes pre filled and ready to spin. Give it a whirl as is, or edit the entries in the box to make it your own. Every slice has equal odds, so the result is fair each and every time. When the wheel stops, the pointer at the top marks the winning slice.
Nothing you spin is uploaded anywhere. The What Should I Eat Wheel runs entirely in your browser, and you can save your edits to your own device. When you want your visitors to spin the same wheel, copy the embed code under the wheel and drop it onto your page.
The what should I eat debate burns real time every single day, and it usually ends with someone saying they do not mind, which helps nobody. Hand the choice to the wheel instead. Spin once and commit to the cuisine it lands on, then pick a restaurant or recipe within that lane. Couples use it to end the polite standoff, roommates use it to rotate fairly through everyone's favorites, and offices use it to choose the lunch run without a twenty message thread. The starter list covers broad crowd pleasers from pizza to ramen, but the wheel gets better the more it looks like your actual life: edit the entries to your delivery favorites and pantry staples, and save it so tomorrow's spin is one click away. One honest rule makes it work: whatever the pointer says, that is dinner.
The odds on this wheel
There are 10 slices, all the same size, so a given slice wins one spin with probability 1 ÷ 10 = 10.0%. Every spin is independent of the one before it, which means no result is ever due: after ten spins without a particular slice, the chance on the eleventh is still 10.0%.
Across several spins the maths follows the complement rule. The chance of a given slice coming up at least oncein ten spins is 1 − (1 − 1/10)10 = 65.1%. Edit the entry list and every figure here recomputes, because they are derived from the wheel rather than written down beside it.
