==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a BORED FOOD.NET DRIVER BETWEEN DELIVERIES. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

The comic is poking fun at the proliferation of apps and internet services such as food delivery and money transfer services. The characters are discussing which ones to use after an evening of tabletop gaming. The caption says that the group has a running competition to see who can mention the most fake apps and services without being called out.

[[Cueball]] mentions three food delivery services, {{w|Grubhub}}, {{w|DoorDash}}, and Food.net, and [[Ponytail]] asks him to reimburse her using {{w|Venmo}}, {{w|PayPal}}, or Yahoo Cash. Cueball expresses skepticism about Yahoo Cash, after which Ponytail admits it's a fake service and is thus obligated to pay for Cueball's meal. Food.net, which Cueball mentioned, is not a real service; https://food.net exists but is "not available for use," and is not related to food. Thus he was able to get a fake service past the other players.

Based on Ponytail's offer, it seems that if someone is correctly called out, they have to pay for the player who caught them. When a player isn't caught (e.g. Cueball mentioning Food.net), it seems that 'play' is passed to the next player, presumably with a penalty for hesitating too long to consider whether or not to actually make a challenge ''or'' their own response.

The title text offers a tip for winning the competition after being called out for mentioning a fake service: building a working version of it and then mentioning it again the next week.

:[Cueball, Megan, and Ponytail are sitting at a table to order food. Cueball is on his phone, and Ponytail, sitting opposite, on her laptop.]
:Cueball: What should we use to order? Grubhub? DoorDash? Food.net?
:Ponytail: I'll do Grubhub; you can send me money. Do you do Venmo? Paypal? Yahoo Cash?
:Cueball: Yahoo Cash HAS to be fake.
:Ponytail: Yes. Dang. I'll get your share.
:[Caption below the panel:]
:Our game night has an ongoing competition to see who can mention the most fake apps and services without getting called on it.
