It's a great opportunity to frame the memory of the conversation and remind people of what they've committed to (especially when they weren't so eager to commit).

Flip a coin. BUT, instead of relying on what was flipped, think about how you *felt* when you saw the answer. "Heads means greek food, sigh" is a clear indication of your true thoughts. ... works even better if you do it to someone else. Flip the coin and look in their eyes for their answer.
