Another one is hiding the unhealthy drinks (e.g. soda) behind frosted glass in the fridge, so you can't see it. Kind of silly, in my opinion. Googlers are presumably adults, and can make their own decisions on what to consume.
- phasetransition 7y agoYes! I noticed this at Google NYC when I interviewed there a few years ago. Healthy (and tasty) fruit infused water was placed front and center. Sodas were hanging out in the fridges in a rather less convenient location.

In a company kitchen/snack area, why not put the healthy options there? Everyone still makes their own decisions, just like anywhere else. Isn't this optimization more in the employees' interest than putting the cheapest items there (e.g. soda)? (I'm at Google. I think these kinds of nudges are mostly good. Though it's certainly something to joke about.)
