College students have begun using Tinder to pursue the greatest thing in the world. No, not love. Free food.
American University junior Julia Reinstein realized that the dating/hookup app could be used for more practical means than finding makeout partners. People could identify if they had or were in need of a spare meal swipe at the school’s cafeteria. By limiting your search distance to a mile, meal matches would proliferate. Think of all the food babies yet to be born.
“That’s symbiosis, folks,” Reinstein wrote on Swipe for Swipes’ Tumblr.
I had friends who, while in grad school, used to joke about using OKCupid as their meal plan, but this endeavor is much more direct. As long as the salad bar doesn’t come with a side of expectations, everybody wins.
