This man’s invention is perfect for couples who can’t decide where to eat

Do you know someone who needs one of these?

If you’re in a relationship you’ll probably be familiar with this struggle. You decide that instead of cooking you’ll just head out for food, or even get take-away.

You think that not cooking will make for a stress-free evening, but you forget about the stress of picking somewhere to eat.

You say ‘I don’t mind’ when really you do, and you say you feel like Chinese when you actually want Italian and when you’re about to order you change your mind.

This is a struggle that many couples go through, which is why one man has created a solution.

The nifty toy lets you simply spin the wheel and it chooses for you.

Jerry Baker’s son Jared shared the gadget his dad made on Twitter, where it got a huge reaction.

The straightforward idea has taken the internet by storm, proving that sometimes the most simple solutions are the best.

Jerry took to Facebook to thank everyone for their support and is now asking advice on how to do some good for charity with his creation.

”The last couple of days has been pretty wild. Earlier this week I invented something that exploded on social media. Yesterday it was on Good Morning America,” he said, adding that people are advising him to make money from it.

”I am a blessed man already I have a great job, family, girlfriend, and friends. The invention was pretty much a fun idea for my girlfriend and our kids. I would love for this invention to somehow be used to make money for charity. A children’s charity would be great,” he said.

Many people have been sending photos of the creation to Ellen DeGeneres in an effort to get Jerry and his invetion on the show.

”I have had a ton of people say I hope you end up on The Ellen show. Well don’t know what the chance of that is but maybe if we could share this post as many times as the original she would see it . Maybe the show would come up with a way to use it for charity. Or maybe someone else will want to use it. Or if anyone else has an idea to use it for a good cause let me know. ”

No word from Ellen just yet but judging by the traction this is getting, it’s pretty likely she’ll notice him.
