- HUMOR
Many people’s first introduction to the classic game “would you rather” was some time around 10 years old and probably focused on gross food, gross drinks, gross body noises, and generally the grosser things in life. But the game can be so much more than that. “Would you rather” offers the opportunity to know your friends better and start healthy debates among them. After all, someone who would rather be homeless than in prison views the world slightly differently than someone who would choose prison.
So, here’s a list of the best would you rather questions to ask, ranging from nostalgic gross-outs (old sushi or sour milk?) to more thought-provoking topics.
