I worked somewhere with free coke and kit kats.
Turns out, I've got willpower when in the supermarket, but not when there's a fridge in the office. I could just about limit myself to 1 of each a day, but even that was too much.
- joe-user 8y agoAh, interesting! Thanks!
- maxxxxx 8y agoThat's one thing that bothers me too. If they provide something for free it's almost always junk food, candy or soda. I prefer not to have this in my face all the time while I am at work.
- Aeolun 8y agoI think my workplace has set an effective deterrent by making all these ridiculously cheap, but still like $0.10. Hungry people eat, but not so much impulse eating.
- chaosphere2112 8y agoAlmost definitely not the case at Google presently. 80-90% of the fridge space is dedicated to non-soda beverages (flavored seltzers, cold brew coffee, iced teas), and the chips + candy are hidden out of sight in the snack areas.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoYeah, same here. Interned at a place with free food and snacks (better than the ones I’ve seen at Google IMO) to a place without any and I lost weight. Nice side benefit.
- afandian 8y agoWe had chocolate covered digestive biscuits (both kinds of chocolate!). I got through them like nobody's business, but I only ate the chilled ones from the fridge (marginally healthier).
