My best friend and I planned a trip to Texas and wanted matching outfits. We could not agree on what color to wear and kept changing our minds. We tried on many shirts and looked at pictures online but still could not pick one color. Then we decided to use a Google spin wheel to choose a color for us. We watched the wheel spin and waited until it stopped. It picked a color, we both liked it, and we bought the same outfits for our trip.
