Figured out why my dub watch parties kept falling apart, took 2 years

I kept inviting friends over to watch anime and everyone bailed by episode 3. Last week I realized it wasn't the show, it was my snack setup. I always put out chips and candy, but the real anime fans wanted something hot. So I made a pot of curry and suddenly people stayed for 6 episodes straight. Has anyone else noticed food is the real deciding factor for getting a group to stick with a series?

That part about "the real anime fans wanted something hot" really hit home for me. I read somewhere that Japanese watch parties always have something simmering, it's basically a rule over there. Curry is a solid move, but I've had luck with just a big pot of miso soup with extra tofu, keeps people warm and full without being heavy. Definitely makes the marathon sessions way more comfortable than trying to survive on chips.
