Oh come on. It is not about sharing. It is about one person ordering a
dessert in a restaurant. Desserts generally come as a single serving
portion and there should be no assumption that they are willing to share
it with everyone at the table. They all had the opportunity to look at
the menu and order dessert if they want it.
