The fridge-door problem
Snacking is the one eating decision nobody plans, which is exactly why it defaults so badly. You open the fridge, survey a set of ingredients rather than a set of options, fail to assemble them into anything in the three seconds you have allocated, and close it again. Twenty minutes later you repeat the whole performance and eat a packet of something.
The fix is not more willpower, it is a named option. A list of finished things — toasted teacake, edamame with sea salt, halloumi fries — is much easier to react to than a shelf of raw materials, because it skips the assembly step your brain refuses to do while standing up.
Filter by what the moment actually is. Healthy when you are choosing deliberately rather than grazing; Sharing when there are people in the house and one plate has to work for all of them.

Questions
How does the random snack generator work?
Choose a style and a cuisine if you want to narrow it down, pick how many ideas you want, then hit generate. The tool draws at random from every snack matching your filters and shows what it picked, with a rough hands-on time and a one-line note.
Why is it sorted by occasion rather than by how hungry you are?
Because occasion is what changes the answer. Someone standing at the fridge at four in the afternoon and someone feeding eight people at half time are asking the same words and want completely different lists. Savoury and sweet cover eating alone, healthy covers choosing deliberately, and sharing covers everything that is awkward to eat by yourself.
Can it suggest snacks with no cooking at all?
Yes, and quite a lot of the list qualifies. Every result shows a rough hands-on time, so anything showing five minutes or less is essentially assembly — frozen grapes, cheese and crackers, seaweed snacks, dark chocolate. Spin again if the first answer wants a pan.
What should I make for a group?
Filter to Sharing. That group is deliberately built around things that scale — wings, sliders, nachos, a mezze platter, baked camembert — rather than single portions multiplied, which is usually where party food goes wrong.
Is it actually random?
Yes. Results are drawn with a Fisher-Yates shuffle across every snack matching your current filters, so each one has an equal chance of coming up and you never get the same fixed order twice.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, no login and no limit on how many times you can generate.
Need a proper meal instead?
The same idea, scaled up to something you sit down for.
