What two things can you never eat for breakfast?

Lunch and dinner

Why this works

This riddle plays on the concept of meal timing and the common structure of our daily eating habits. The humor comes from the fact that lunch and dinner are, by definition, meals that occur after breakfast, making it impossible to have them for breakfast. The clever twist is that it challenges our thinking by framing it as a question about what we "can never eat," leading us to consider not just food items but the meals themselves.

Common Wrong Answers

“Snacks”

Snacks can be eaten at any time of the day, including breakfast, so they don't fit the criteria of things you can never eat for breakfast.

“Dessert”

Desserts can also be eaten at breakfast, especially in some cultures or as part of a special meal, making them not a definitive answer to the riddle.

“Pizza”

While pizza is not a traditional breakfast food, it can certainly be eaten for breakfast, especially as leftovers, so it does not satisfy the riddle's requirement.
