Anyone else have candy stashed at in their desk at work? If so which drawer and what is in it?

Mine: Top right hand drawer
Current contents: Sour patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Planters Dry roasted peanuts, Slim Jims, and Bit O Honey.
 
I have a large coffee mug that has candy available for everyone who stops by. My secret stash for said candy is in a lockable drawer. Right now, I have the Hershey's Mini Candy Bars, Hershey's Nuggets, and the Baby Ruths/Butterfinger combo.
 
Bottom drawer of my desk, locked up. I have baby ruth/butterfinger combo, skittles, starburst, 5 gum, slim jims, and pringles. Gotta love having a junk food stash at work.
 
My company keeps a stash at the receptionist's desk. Currently featuring Snickers Peanut Butter Squares. They looked delicious.

Stupid diet!
 
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson would approve.

A fellow Iowa State fan that I work with always has candy in a tupperware container in her desk. She knows it a long day when I walk in while she is teaching grab a couple of pieces of candy and walk out.

It usually is full of Recess Peanut Butter cups, kisses, dove chocolate. Mainly anything chocolate.

It gets me through a long day.
 
We have a well known candy company as a client. Whenever someone goes to one of their sites, they give a large shopping bag full of candy to bring back to the office. Around Halloween and Christmas, they send 2 boxes each about the size of a carry-on suitcase worth of candy to our office.

Needless to say, our office has a candy cubicle.
 
I don't eat candy and stuff like that, but I have some bananas in the back room of my office, I think some 100 calorie snack things too.
 
A guy in our group keeps two drawers fully stocked. The selection is about as good as a Casey's. He buys it in bulk at Sam's Club and has a coffee jar and sells it at cost on the honor system. Candy bars, gum, chips, cookies, pretty much you name it and if it isn't there just request it.

It's pretty awesome since it's like 1/2 the price of the candy machine.
 
This...my candy is a box of raisons or a banana. I don't think I've eaten a real piece of candy for 10yrs at least.

Hey, to each his own, but to me that's like hanging a poster of Roseanne Barr in a bikini in your garage. :spinny:

Although, I gotta say, I am a salty snack person...chips and sunflower seeds.

Our receptionist usually keeps a candy dish stocked. She mentioned one day that a few employees tend to take more than their fair share. I emailed her a link to Jelly Belly's web page where they sell the horrible tasting jellybeans. About a week later she informed me that she had orded them, they had arrived, and she was putting them out in the candy dish (when she was at her desk, don't want clients getting into that).

Hilarity ensued. The candy gobbling employees (and boss) made funny faces after sampling the beans and made inqueries as to what the candy was but were too embarassed to admit that what they ate tasted like barf, skunk spray or whatever else.

Been there, done that. Except in my case, I had an intern (shared an office with me) who came up with the devious idea to switch my normal candy supply to Jelly Belly's for a few weeks. Once everybody in the office got used to the new-look candy, we then intermixed the nasty beans with the normal beans. We got very good at telling which bean was tasty and which ones were nasty.

One day, at the end of the day, I was on the phone with our technical expert group. The night shift operations team leader came into the office and jumped into the conversation. As he did so, he noticed the jelly beans and jumped right in. A few funny faces later, there were no more "Rotten Egg" or "Vomit" flavored beans - he had actively picked those out to consume!
 
Right now, just Giants salt and pepper flavored sunflower seeds. Usually will have some peanut m&ms or a bag of trailmix from target
 
My drawer is beind me to the left. Currently it is low and only has crackers, a can of soup and a box of Nerds. During the school year, it always has bags of Jimmy John's chips and cookies as those are ordered A LOT around here for various meals and always leftover in the kitchen for the taking.
