Husband tries viral hack to get wife to decide where to eat and it hilariously backfires

Dining out can be challenging, especially when deciding where and what to eat becomes a dilemma. Thankfully, TikTok is filled with life hacks to help. One clever husband used such a hack to trick his wife into choosing where to eat, and it was nothing short of genius. 

The TikTok clip, posted on the couple's account @daveandjanie, shows husband Dave cleverly tricking his wife Janie into deciding where to eat. The floating caption reads, "How to get your wife to decide where to eat immediately." In the opening moments, Dave asks,"How to get your wife to decide where to eat immediately." In the opening moments of the clip, the man starts the conversation by asking her, "Guess where I'm taking you for lunch today." In reply, she says, "I don't know where you are gonna take me." He then goes on to say that she has been talking about the place for weeks to which her response was, "The new Pad Thai place."

Dave cleverly plays along, saying, "Dude how did you know that." Meanwhile, Janie expresses her excitement saying, "oh my gosh oh my gosh" which makes him think he has almost made her say the name of the restaurant. In the next frame, the wife is spotted expressing her excitement and says, "I have been wanting to go there. I am so excited." The clip continues with Dave pretending that he had been listening to her choice for several weeks and then he goes on to say, "and I have been picking up on your cues."

The video takes a funny twist as Dave falls into his own trap. When Janie asks if he knows where the place is, he replies, "No no you just have to show me where it is." Her wife immediately asks him the name of the place. In a muffled voice and looking away from the camera, Dave says, "Uh, the Pad Thai place." 

His face turns pale with embarrassment when the hack goes south. He is bombarded with questions regarding the place's name and location to which he has no answers. It is then, that Janie reveals she knows about the trick. She says, " I saw that trend. You were trying to trick me." Then confidently, she adds, "It didn't work, did it." Dave, left with nowhere left to run, accepts his defeat. Well, some would say he is a legend for even trying to pull off this trick. 

The hilarious TikTok clip captioned, "Life hack to easily get your wife to decide where she wants to eat… Gone wrong" has received a good reception. With 4 million views and over 400,000 likes, it is going viral. Viewers have taken to the comment section to express their reactions and commend Dave for his brave efforts. One user, @cadillacoz11, commented, "You sir have just saved marriages everywhere." Another user, @jessicapruett5, hilariously commented how the hack failed when her husband tried it, "This backfired on my husband cause I hate guessing games."
