I’m not even eating the stuff right now but new office says it’s a requirement. What do you recommend?

ETA: it’s not an actual requirement. That’s just how the existing staff is describing it in jest. There are 20 offices or so and everyone does have a candy dish on their desk.

Mix m&ms skittles, and reeses pieces.

Throw in zombie skittles for a bit more fun.

So you are saying I shouldn't bring a can next time I (finally) make an evening stroll?  


What some people do not realize is that it's not just a hard licorice-flavored boiled candy, but that there is a spicy/hot powder INSIDE the hard candy.  So after you have been eating it for a while (or you crack it open by chewing on it), then the powder is released into your mouth.  Some people who have never had it before experience this as a very unpleasant surprise the first time they try it.  Only the best licorice candy in Denmark has ammonium chloride as an ingredient.  

The original logo in Denmark was a turkish man (hilariously, wearing a sombrero), who was vomiting fire.

Okay, now I think I need to try them...  And maybe bring them to my office without explaination!

Get a small jar for the desk. Then find the nastiest flavor Jelly Belly’s you can find.

Did this at work when too many people would just stop in for the good candy and interrupt my work.

Surely someone sells something either penis shaped, or something made to resemble a womans breast. And put them in a jar that says something like "How are ya', Fatso?" every time the lid is opened.
ETA: I missed them on the top of the page...oh well.

What office requires you to buy treats for others?  

But, if you must...
I'd go with tiny toys or press-on tattoos before I put candy out.

At least individually wrapped.

Chinese finger traps. They'll really appreciate your sense of humor if you pull your eye openings into squinty shapes and replace the letter R in your words with the letter L.

Also, how exactly did we get to page 3 before someone so righteously suggested peeps? This friggin' place sometimes. Bush league....

Jelly Belly's, get the mini bin with the scoop. Get them used to the sweet stuff, then once it gets low load it up with the gross bamboozled stuff. I did this at my last office job, the reactions were priceless!
