Our office building holds "tenant appreciation day" once a year, which means we get a free lunch. (Frankly, I'd rather get my share of the cost of my free lunch, but that's just 'cause I'm boring and lazy I guess.)
This year's theme was carnival. Which is to say we had parts of a carnival set up in the parking lot. Hot dogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, curly fries, potato salad, soda - cotton candy, caramel corn, shaved ice, elephant ears.
Games involving tossing hoops over poles, or rubber chickens into buckets, were set up. There was a balloon-twisting clown and a face painter.
All of it free. See why I want my percentage of the cost? :P Meanwhile, the food was the usual carnival stuff - greasy. I ate half my fries and corn dog, the fruit salad was awful, and I grabbed cotton candy and caramel corn for later. I seriously debated the shaved ice, but the truth is I already felt bloated and nasty, and that stuff doesn't keep for later.
Yay, free food. At least it wasn't the amazing bento special (no, that's not what they called it), with vastly over-spiced (nauseating) shredded chicken over rice. As your only option. That was two years ago, and I'm not sure I've forgiven them yet. :)
