Recently I started my first non coop job. Though its not really any different than a coop job, except for the fact that it won’t end after 4 months unless I don’t like it and or they don’t like me. While working I realized that I seem to always have the urge to snack while at work. I’m not really sure if this is appropriate, I never remember seeing any Sr staff members doing it, but I really enjoy it. I remember my past co-op days where a co-worker (turned friend) and I used to go on snack hunts as every floor at different snack you could buy. We also had our snack stash, so whenever we were bored, or hungry or just had a certain craving we could grab it from a convenient desk drawer and eat it while still working away.
I really think that businesses should encourage more of this. It reduces the need to go on a coffee break, if you already have a snack near you and it also allows a delay in the lunchtime hunger call. It would be nice for businesses to even offer snacks at a reduced price, or even just healthy snacks. A healthier work force is more productive. I can understand how a desk full of snacks can seem awkward if you are about to speak with a client, or that if you happen to take a bite of your snack just as your phone rings it might not be very professional. But I do believe that the overall positive of snacking should have companies encourage it.
My Top 5 Snacks:
-Nibs and Twizzlers: they are small, sugary but not too much, have no crumbs, and in general are less fat than other sweats).
-Chocolate covered raisins or nuts: (they are semi healthy and also have the same benefits as nibs, but hits that chocolate craving)
-Grapes and Nuts: very healthy and tasty, though watch out for people who might be allergic
-Pringals or Pretzels: (for those of us who get the salt craving, these work well because they aren’t very messy or too loud when you crunch)
-Cheese Strings: I know that its suppose to be a childish snack, but it does hit that cheesy craving well and its very portable and potentially even nutritious
What are your favorite snacks?

Yeah, I totally agree... snacks are a good thing when consumed at the appropriate time. I like having a bunch of snacks... In my cupboard, I have popcorn (to be microwaved so that it's fresh and warm), oatmeal (just in case I forget to have breakfast), apple sauce (gotta love something you don't need to chew), berried flavour tea (an alternative to coffee), riesen chocolate chew, some hard candy (they are great if you have a sore throat), oh and gum (I'm not sure if that's considered a snack...) Occasionally, I like to have some potato chips, or have some cold dessert (like ice-cream or freezies!)... yeah that's about it... but yeah snacks are good and yummy!
