– Assorted — different chocolates for different tastes
Starburst Jelly Beans
– Hands down, the best/juiciest jelly beans!
M&M’s
– Peanut version always adds punch

Hershey’s Kisses
– Generations of joy are wrapped in the classic silver-foil version
– Though a latecomer, the dark chocolate goes down mmm!
Loretta’s Pumpkin Pie
– A “Dana Gras” tradition
– Paired with homemade whipped cream: an imperative!

Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls
– A longtime staple, despite non-connoisseur criticisms of “waxy” chocolate
– Ultimately discarded because of high-carb count
Cocoa Almonds
– Planters are good
– Great Value is better!

BEST BEVERAGES

COFFEE

Whether from the elite Miele machine or the ubiquitous Keurig, caffeine has been a perennial office staple that fuels early mornings, extends late nights, livens creative meetings, cures writers’ block, warms winter days and just generally keeps us keeping on!

CREATIVE MEETING RULES

In brainstorming, there are no bad ideas…
(inside joke, email for details)

Creativity without candy may be possible, but why risk it?

Never have one without inviting Google
(it’s hard to believe there used to be creative meetings before Google, but there were)

Four versions of the same idea is NOT the same as four ideas!
