After a long day at work, do you often face the dilemma of cooking vs ordering food? Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, making the decision more difficult. Recently, a video on this topic took Instagram by storm and won the hearts of many users who found it extremely relatable. In John Ryan Sugimoto’s reel, we hear his internal monologue as he realizes he’s hungry. He tells himself that he should cook instead of taking delivery. He feels the latter can help him save time. On the other hand, cooking at home can save money. If food is delivered to him, he realizes that it is more delicious. But cooking will give him a chance to eat healthy food. Delivery will allow him to choose any dish he likes, while cooking will give him a sense of pride in what he is able to create.
