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. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
