I certainly agree and thought about turning the concept around for one question this game, but it would be tough to grade in this scheme if it competes with the "usual" way
This just what the 5-pointers go for, which can be a challenge in itself.
It's also almost the exact concept of a well known gameshow in the UK called Pointless
We don't have that one over here, but I looked it up and it's pretty much what I was thinking off! But yeah, I don't want to compete with this game or anything, so I'll put it on hold until this one loses interest 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

I'm with stupid 2021 - Game 2, Round 1: Food
It's time to start the 2nd edition with it's first round: Food! Let's see who can start up in the pole position.
1. Name your favourite food (if it's Pizza you're basic so choose something else, if it's Pasta specify).
The first question of this episode ended with a pretty broad distribution. Burger won with 4 votes, closely followed by Fries, Lasagna and Pizza (you funny). Steak still offers 2 points, while Nemolito went with "Baguette with a slice of old cheese", which is the most specific answer of this round.
Spoiler | Burger | 4 | | Fries | 3 | | Lasagna | 3 | | Pizza | 3 | | Steak | 2 | | Baguette with a slice of old cheese | 1 | | chocolate | 1 | | Curry | 1 | | Noodles | 1 | | stuff made from eggs | 1 | | Sushi | 1 | | Zeppelins | 1 |
2. Name a fastfood chain other than McDonalds (do you call that food?).
First of all: Somebody actually answered the 2nd question with a "no", which earns jandal7 an extra-point. Before I thought about banning KFC and Burger King as well, and maybe I should've done that. After the first 5 answers all came in as KFC I should've done that, but Burger King at least managed to close down slightly. No love for Pizza places, which I thought would have a chance after question 1. The lovely "Los Pollos Hermanos" mg-reference receives an extra point for dedication.
Spoiler | KFC | 10 | | Burger King | 7 | | Wendy's | 1 | | Wimpy | 1 | | Los Pollos Hermanos | 1 | | Subway | 1 | | Hell Pizza | 1 |
3. Speaking of fast food, name someone fictional/non-fictional that enjoyes food a little too much.
This question appeared to be very well set for different answers, and in fact the distribution was too broad. Homer Simpson took 6 votes, everything else was at 1. I thought Garfield would run away with the win easily, which is why I slightly changed the question before posting. How wrong was I. Props to Jan Ulrich and Carlos Betancur, I also very much enjoyed Donald Trump (was mentioned in another answer as well) and Obelix, who is an awesome choice for this as well.
Spoiler | Homer Simpson | 6 | | Shaggy (Scooby Doo) | 1 | | Swedish Chef (bork bork bork) | 1 | | Jan Ullrich | 1 | | Phillip Banks (Prince of Belair) | 1 | | ur mum | 1 | | Donald Trump | 1 | | Pam (Archer) | 1 | | Big Smoke | 1 | | Bud Spencer | 1 | | Garfield | 1 | | Wimpy | 1 | | Myself | 1 | | My wife | 1 | | Obelix | 1 | | Joey Tribbiani | 1 | | Carlos Betancur | 1 |
4. Name a fruit/vegetable that you can't buy everywhere.
For this questions it took the longest to have some matching results, but at the end there are some similarities. Dragonfruit won it with 4 votes, eventhough I had it in 3 countries already. May favourite answer is the Durian/Jackfruit, which took 2 as well as the more classic Bananas and Kiwis. A bonus point goes to TMM and his reasonable Brexit explanation.
Spoiler | Dragonfruit | 4 | | Kiwi | 2 | | Durian | 2 | | Banana | 2 | | Santol | 1 | | Thanks to Brexit all fruit/veg is hard to buy | 1 | | Zucchini | 1 | | Plums | 1 | | Adam's apple | 1 | | Starfruit | 1 | | Bok Choy | 1 | | Aspargus | 1 | | Fuck Fruit! | 1 | | Lychee | 1 | | Pineapple | 1 | | Pumpkin | 1 |
5. Name the meal Tadej Pogacar had for dinner the day before his infamous performace on La Planche de Belles Filles that gave him his superpowers.
Yeah definitely the most controversial question. And you answered it very controversial as well: EPO won, though I loved the EPOtatoes and the Orange Juice (suc dE POrtocale) the most. Steak and Spinach finished second with 3 points: While some made Popeye proud, the "Steak a la Contador" really was a fantastic choice. 2 points go to the generic salad. A bonus point for creative answers will be handed out to Goat, I also liked the smooth Pomegranate, while the tasty yet tasteless answer of Urska Zigart receives an evil look from the organizers.
Spoiler | EPO | 6 | | Steak | 3 | | Spinach | 3 | | Salad | 2 | | Porridge | 1 | | Pasta | 1 | | Pomegranate | 1 | | Multivitamins | 1 | | Slovenian Carniolan sausages | 1 | | Goat | 1 | | ÄŒokolino | 1 | | Urska Zigart | 1 |
Standings
Good start for last rounds host cunego59, as he takes the lead with 26 points. He scored well by doing consistently decent and hitting the big one in KFC: He is followed by Ollfhard, who despite failing to hit KFC took most of the points with his badass answers Pizza and EPO.
P3-14 only are seperated by 6 points, as almoste everytbody had their 1-pointers on the way. Down in the standings there are quasdas, who did better offending than scoring, and Nemolito, who had some really cool yet not really successful answers on hand.

Was not an easy round for me. Might have been a bit too specific in the first answer and too emotional in the second I really couldn't think about anyone enjoying fast food too much, so also didn't expect to score there. I knew epo would probably be the #1 pick for question 5, so I'll gladly take the bonus points for goat
All the answers that came into my mind for this round were cycling related, so I'll have a hard time finding something again

Lucky that I went for KFC instead of Burger King. And that Dragonfruit actually was a top answer. Overall, that went better than expected
Neat questions for round 2!

Subway is the largest fast food chain in the world, but whatever I guess. 
Had no idea KFC was so popular in Europe.

Glad my EPOtotatoes got some love, took me a while to find a good pun. I couldn't betray my beloved BK although I had a feeling KFC could win, costing me the lead. And maybe one day he'll get my name right
Looking forward to round 2!

There are far more KFC and Burger Kings in Portugal, at least. Funnily enough, I have never met someone who has eaten at KFC, which is actually weird considering there are several of them in big shopping centers here in Lisbon.
Nice round of questions, will send a PM shortly.  |

I consider all junk food pretty much garbage but KFC is really at the bottom of a trashpile.

The quality of KFC really depends on where you are, every country seems to do things quite differently. In most places in the Caribbean it's S tier but in the States it's easily D or F

KFC being the top answer really surprised me, thought Burger King would be the dominant runaway top answer.

Yeah, I think I've eaten at KFC twice in my life, and it was trash both times.
But then again, in the states there are tons of other options for fried chicken. You can get better fried chicken than KFC in the hot foods section at a supermarket most of the time.

KFC was great as a kid, I used to always get it at the movie theatre, and the popcorn chicken was awesome. Having grown up now though, its pretty trash and a place like Popeyes is a lot better, although fast food chicken in general isn't great. Im pretty sure KFC is still the most popular fast food chain in many parts of Asia
Almost joined this second round btw, but with like 5 major projects due soon, felt I probably shouldnt

How is the Wingstop quality? Thought about investing a bit into their stock, looks quite interesting.

I don't what you people are talking about KFC. Is my favorite junk food chain. Then again we don't have a lot of the big ones in my city. McDonalds for me is the trashiest fast food. Everything tastes like plastic.

Honestly, I've never had Wingstop, but my friends have only had good things to say about it.
