Google crunches data on munching in office

[The Buzz]

Google tried an experiment called Project M&M to try to stop its employees from eating as much of the free candy placed around the office. In the New York office alone, employees consumed 3.1 million fewer calories from M&Ms over seven weeks. That’s a decrease of nine vending machine-size packages of M&Ms for each of the office’s 2,000 employees.

M&M's slogan is "melt in your mouth, not in your hand," but this whole thing just makes Buzzy's brain melt.

Interesting experiment!

That's very interesting.
I'm going to start rearranging things in my fridge at home and see if it makes a difference to my other half

I think he'll still find the goodies!

Hahah there are no goodies in my house at all, but he never seems to be able to see something in the fridge if it is not at eye level.

On friday morning he asked me where the spare toothbrushes were because he was going to new zealand for the weekend to watch the rugby. I told him there are on the bottom shelf on the right hand side of the bathroom cabinet. He goes in and comes out to tell me we have none left. I walk in there, open the cupboard and say "they are right here" and they were at the front, so not even hidden behind anything.

Men.

I hear you! this happens far too often....they are from a different planet altogether.

The optical system on earth can't be great then because it seems that all men need glasses, but not all men wear them. :/

My brother works for Google, sounds like a great place with all the perks they get

Will send him the link to this article, though he works in the Sydney office so they probably didn't hide the m&m's over here

They probably don't need to hide the M&Ms over here because people are so active and health conscious!

I wouldn't mind some peanut M&Ms actually. Or some chocolate coated almonds (my favourite). Haven't had them in months :/

Hehehehe yes Rick, I will be the first to admit that we also have our fair share..even us women are from a totally different planet. I just loved reading Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus...it sure sheds great light and makes a very good point that we are just different!!
