so according to this article

http://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/bad-foods-to-eat-on-dates-thrillist-nation

the following are worst foods to eat while on a date.

Culprit: Wings
Reason To Avoid Them: If you're on a date at a spot that serves wings, you pretty much already bleu it. Unless you make that joke. In which case you are totally hilarious and on the fast track to first base. But really, you shouldn't be ordering something that is going to turn your mouth and hands the color of that lady prison show on Netflix.

Culprit: Garlic
Reason To Avoid It: Really? Well, if you must know, garlic contains allyl methyl sulfide (AMS), which is a volatile liquid absorbed into the blood when consuming garlic, which is then exuded through the pores, so not only your breath, but also your skin stinks. And studies show that people with smelly skin generally don't get second dates.

Culprit: Crawfish
Reason To Avoid It: Nothing sets the mood quite like the sounds of cracking crustacean and nervous gut-slurping.

Culprit: Onion Rings
Reason To Avoid Them: Yes, ordering onion rings does show that you're not just a regular fry-guy who's willing to sacrifice flavor for starch and also that you'll spend an extra buck for the side you really want. The trade-off is that they make you smell like you just left a not particularly eventful state fair.

Culprit: Ribs
Reason To Avoid Them: Yes, a good rib is a thing of beauty, but an object of your potential affection teeth-ripping pork fat means the only rub you'll be getting is a dry one.

Culprit: Corn on the Cob
Reason To Avoid It: Like wings and ribs, corn on the cob falls into the gnawable category and should thus be avoided. It also leads to the very fun game of do-I-have-anything-in-my-teeth, which let's you take turns analyzing each others years of dental neglect. Oh wait, that's actually not a very fun game at all.

Culprit: Hot Dogs
Reason To Avoid Them: Even if you class it up with relish or hide it in a warm blanket of corn, it still doesn't hide the fact that you're biting into a meat stick whose condiments are very soon going to be on your shirt, and your hands, and your face.

Culprit: Mozzarella Sticks
Reason To Avoid Them: Less a breath or hands or face thing, and more of a "prove you graduated from sixth grade eating habits" thing.

Culprit: Fast Food
Reason To Avoid It: It might seem like a good idea to swing by a drive-thru for some quick sustenance in between datey activities like kayaking or going to a museum or explaining your crippling college debt, but taking a romantic interest to Taco Bell is a sure-fire way to make her want to run for the border.

Culprit: Baked Beans
Reason To Avoid Them: Not a good idea even if you know a clever rhyme about how they're a magic fruit.

Agree? Disagree? What foods, if any, would a date have to order that would make you say no to more dates?

I found a lot of the things on this list was funny. Their eating habits might make me think twice, like if she was talking with her mouth full and food bits came flying out. :noway: I'll admit, the idea of a girl tearing into some BBQ ribs with a primal instinct, completely messy and reckless abandon intrigues me.

Personally I am not a fan of onions but, I wouldn't turn down a potential 2nd date with a girl because she ordered onion rings. I do kind of agree with the fast food one though, at least not as a 1st date. Oh and I recently discovered that jelly/jam on eggs is a no no. :laugh: *adds more strawberry jam to his omelette*
