Pro Tips for Getting the Most Out of This Tool
Tip #1
Establish a "One Veto Rule": each person gets exactly one veto before spinning, but must accept the wheel's final pick.

If you have leftovers in the fridge that need eating, put "Leftovers" on the wheel with 2x weight.
Tip #3
Keep your wheel saved in your browser bookmarks so you never have to re-type your local spots.
