There are so many restaurant choices in the equation on vacation.
Especially in Myrtle Beach. There are worthy choices everywhere, so we’ve picked two for each meal — and left it up to a coin flip. Toss caution into the wind, or at least into a flip of the coin.
Let’s get flipping.
Fun Facts About the Coin-Flipping History
We bet you didn’t know these. At least 50% of them.
- The Romans played “ship or head”
The first metal coins emerged in the 7th century BC. Romans called the coin flip “navia aut caput”, which means “ship or heads.”
- You should call the side that’s facing up to begin
Science says a coin has a 51% chance of landing with the side showing before you flip. It’s a slight advantage, but if you can see it, call it. Most people have a superstitious reason for calling heads or tails, though.
- Tails might have the edge
The head side can weigh more. That means it’s possible it’ll fall on that side more often than the other. It’s a toss-up.
