Rubbish. The donuts will blow up your waist line, and the coffee will keep you awake when you ought to be asleep. I had to resort to it to appear to stay awake during marketing meetings.

The pcb houses and metal fab shops are sending us big boxes of
chocolates.

Why don't Digikey and Arrow do that?
