When I started with computers, programmers subsisted on a diet of
pizza and coffee. The new generation ate popcorn, which I find less
satisfying than pizza. At least one company collected recyclable paper
and used the proceeds to buy beer for a monthly party. I used to go on
periodic suganiyoth[1] expeditions with CS students who hung around
the computer center.
What data center food/drink customs have others encountered?
