Allow me to explain.

The Wall of Chocolate: This monument to eating consists of shelves and shelves of candy bars and other snack products that are there for the purchasing as well as two refrigerators and one freezer filled with goodies.

But wait, there’s more.

If you forget your wallet or purposely leave your money behind, you can purchase things on credit. Yes, that’s right folks…you simply need to write down the item that you gobbled up in a frenzy on the little ledger you have there and pay later. They call it the “honor system”. I call it the “helps me binge even at work where I thought I was safe system”.

And, once a month, there is a Cake Day. With the proceeds from The Wall of Chocolate, the company purchases three large cakes (enough for everyone to have at least three pieces) and the encourage everyone to come together and celebrate the birthdays for the month. Ok, celebrating birthdays are fine. I’m down with that, but that’s a lot of cake!

Couldn’t we just mash a bad of Famous Amos cookies, add some whole milk to help form it into a slab then cover it with M&Ms (plain, peanut or dark chocolate) and use a cheese stick as a candle on top?

You have GOT to love that workplace food.
