Women give out their email passwords for chocolate
Want to worm your way into a woman’s email inbox? It’s easy, just buy her a bar of chocolate and the password’s all yours. Or so claim security analysts Infosecurity Europe, who polled 576 office workers outside Liverpool Street Station in London, as part of their Information Security Awareness week which starts on the 21st April.
According to the survey, 45 per cent of women were quite happy to give strangers, posing as market researchers, their email password, in return for a chocolate bar, as opposed to only 10 per cent of men. Hmmm…Wonder what the results would have been if they’d offered beer?
The unsuspecting workers were asked to fill out a survey which was actually nothing more than a cover for social engineering research to prove that gullible (and snack crazed) people would give out all kinds of information for chocolaty treats.
Despite the fact that many people still fell for the trick, Infosecurity reckons that on the whole, people did a lot better than last year, when they performed the same sort of test. In 2007 a whopping 64 per cent of people were prepared to give away their passwords for a chocolate bar, but this year only 21 per cent succumbed to the temptation. Maybe this year’s crowd are dieting.

Dip Once or Dip Twice: A scientific inquiry into the realm of double-dipping
Researchers at Clemson University set the record straight in asking the age-old snacking question: Does double dipping encourage the spread of germs?
"OUR annual national snacking binge is almost here. It would take a very large bowl indeed to hold all the guacamole mashed from the more than 100 million avocados that are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. (My rough calculation gives a hemisphere bowl 20 yards in diameter and 3 times the height of the goal post crossbars.) And guacamole is just one of many dips that will be shared around the TV..."

100 calorie scam
This is totally one of those did-you-know-this-could-happen-to-YOU sensationalistic stories, but it does contain some interesting stats about what you're getting when you buy those 100 calorie packs of your favorite snack foods. The Consumerist says: The most important thought to take away? If you're fine with paying a premium for 100 calorie packs, make sure you don't eat more than one. ABC News says eating two 100 calorie Hostess cupcake packs means you've eaten more calories than if you ate 1 large Hostess cupcake, and paid a lot more for those extra calories.

Ban Junk Food At Current!
This may sound cliche' and preachy, but it's true: studies have linked these snacks (the very ones in the cafe drawers) to obesity, diabetes, violence. There's a GOOD reason that California has banned the sale junk food at all schools.
I tried to subvert the dominant paradigm last year and have our snacks switched to no avail, so I thought I'd make another attempt at a Snack Food Revolution. I mean, how can such a progressive company like Current support such nutritionally-harmful companies (Pepsico, Frito-Lay, Hershey's, etc) by purchasing loads of these unhealthy snacks?? We might as well put a bucket of sugar and a salt lick in the cafe' :) Do you like, or eat, the current snacks? Or do you want something healthier? ??! Speak up!
