It sounds like an admission they can’t read and need pictures to look at.

Over a third of millennials said having too many options on a menu was also a trigger.

“An Asian American couple is having some very hot sex. In the middle of the act, the man starts orgiastically shrieking, ‘I want number 69! I want number 69!’ Replies the wife, ‘Huh? You want beef with broccoli now?’ “

not being able to find something they like on the menu, and regretting what they ordered. Over a third of millennials said having too many options on a menu was also a trigger.

Restauranteurs better start adding Safe Rooms with coloring books and nappy blankets for the snowflakes.

I can understand this. I get “toothpaste anxiety” at Walmart. There are 159 toothpastes to choose from and all I want is “Crest” which is IMPOSSIBLE to find. It takes me 15 minutes to find plain old “toothpaste.”

Don’t get me started on the deodorant selection, either!

I’ll stereotype here, but this is the most medicated, syndrome-laden, and spoiled generation of young people in US history. Morons who fly their Gay Flag as they show support for Hamas. I’m looking forward to taking from them when society collapses and they figure out nobody will help them.

Most of them should be ordering from the child’s menu.

Pathetic, but this is where we are.

It says 67% of everyone has it.

That’s the take home.

I think this entire study is absurd. Making up crap and getting money to “study” it.

Menu anxiety.

Who paid for this?

Every Chinese restaurant in America has the same 200 items on their menu. Each dish will taste the same no matter what restaurant you visit. None of the food on the menu is anything that Chinese people themselves actually eat.

I've never been to China, but it seems some Chinese restaurants over here serve "authentic" Chinese food. Several years ago, there was a Chinese fast-food restaurant across the street from the University of Southern California that served a dish labeled "beef," but its consistency was a lot more like chitlins. Nonetheless, their "beef" was a lot better than any of the dishes available at chains like Panda Express.

Thank goodness that is a perception of what they want us to believe and not reality. In reality most of America is strong and not like that at all.

“Menu anxiety was largely trigged by the cost of the meal, not being able to find something they like on the menu, and regretting what they ordered. Over a third of millennials said having too many options on a menu was also a trigger.”

It’s a real bummer.

First world, hipster Gen Z problems.

Claiming to be “triggered” is infantile

What "generation" is this twerp?

Not that it really matters. Generational stereotyping is for weak minds ...

Devo got it right:

Unable.

That is not going to get better.
