Is this just about food, or drinks too?

Both — questions cover cooking disasters, weird cravings, restaurant moments, coffee habits, and a fair amount of "would you eat that?" energy.

Good for a first date?

Yes — food is one of the safest topics to bond over and these questions reveal personality without getting too personal.

Are there drinking-game references?

No — alcohol is mentioned occasionally but the category is clean and works for any age.

Have you ever gotten "hangry"?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Food questions land because everyone has a worst-meal-ever story, a weird craving they will defend, and a restaurant moment they cannot let go of. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
