How 'come at an afternoon meeting, "refreshments" always means

[MissMillie]

"cookies"

Now I like cookies as much as the next guy... maybe more even, but how about some fresh fruit? How 'bout chips & salsa & guacamole?

Catering offers popcorn service...

and ice cream....






it's always cookies

2. Cookies? At my house it means booze.

3. I'll take a stab.

Popcorn is too noisy.

Chips and salsa are too noisy and too messy.

Ice cream is too messy.

Cookies are the easiest.

4. For the same reason that 'breakfast' means sticky pastries, doughy bagels, and crumbly muffins.

Yuck.

5. Refreshments

How about Anteater sandwiches..........
Or Turtle soup

:shrug: :shrug: :hi:

6. Who does the ordering? Talk to them...

I do it for this office and I've ordered fruit trays, cheesecake trays, bagel & muffin trays... etc.

Sometimes it's just the same old thing all the time cause that's all anyone ever expressed an interest in, and whoever's coordinating that stuff figures everyone's happy with it. That's what happens with me, anyway.

Can I have a cookie? :)
