Everyone had left the office and I was all alone, finishing the backlog of work that I had procastinated on. It was getting on for supper time, and I was hungry.
I rooted about in the supply cabinet for crackers – none. All I found was a couple tablespoons of brown sugar in a plastic container, with a scoop thoughtfully placed inside. That was for coffee. There was no coffee. There were, however, steno notebooks, staple wires, and reams of copy paper.
In a tall filing cabinet I found toilet paper and a bag of 3-in-1 coffee sachets. No crackers. They were all gone.
My stomach growled. I tried to think – where else could I have stashed food?
My bottom roll-out drawer was empty. I could have sworn I had chocolate-covered cookies in there. My last hope was the round candy tin. I found no crackers – I had eaten them all – but I did find chocolate.
The sun shone even if it was nearly seven o’clock at night, birds sang and flowers bloomed and butterflies flitted around my head as I reached for one Ricoa Flattops, peeled it, and popped it into my mouth. Ahhh. Sweet bliss of sugar rush. I was renewed, recharged, re-energized!
It pays to stash candy in the office for munchie emergencies. I highly recommend doing so.

Now if only you found bacon too!
Flat Tops are one of my favorites!! They’re not great chocolate, but there’s something satisfying about them. Yum!
Flat tops!!! I miss eating them…I can’t eat chocolates now. My teeth have become to sensitive to them. (I can DRINK chocolates, though.)
