Description

Ordering food—whether at a restaurant, through a delivery app, or while standing in front of a fast-food counter—has become one of the most common rituals of modern adulthood. Yet for such a simple activity, it exposes some of the funniest, most chaotic, and most relatable lies we tell ourselves. These lies can be tiny, comforting self-deceptions (“I’m definitely choosing the healthy option today”), or they can be bold, shameless delusions (“I deserve this feast because life is stressful and the universe owes me a break”). Whatever the scale, these lies reveal a truth: food ordering is no longer just a transaction. It is an emotional experience, a mental negotiation, and often, a comedy of self-justification.
