the social dynamics of free food

Put out pizza in the office kitchen, and no matter how much there is, it will all be gone in less than 45 minutes.

Put out a spread of barbecue, and within an hour, everything is gone but some cornbread and greens.

Put out a tray of cut vegetables, and it stays there all day.


I think I'm the only one eating the grape tomatoes! How can that be?

well, that's not true. a given person i can understand. but an entire office seems to defeat some law of statistical probability.
