Please eat my lunch

Found this interesting read - Stolen lunches? Substitute cat food for tuna on wheat

It is a long article about people putting lunch in office refrigerator and found it's gone by noon. It seems to be a very common thing in a large company office as you read. Somehow, mine has a contradictory result - people forgot their lunch in the fridge!

Twice a year, office cleaner would clean up the fridge, and the staffs have to evacuate things from it. It is quite frequent that there will be 3 to 5 lunch boxes that were not claimed. As you can imagine, these lunch boxes could have been stuck there for as long as half a year! Well, I present my sympathy and understanding to these people, as there's a time that I have recovered 2 of my long missing lunch boxes from this semi-annual event.

So what is my point? When you leave your lunch box long enough in the company fridge, people will start to bring their own lunch. You can see my contribution and accomplishment on this.

PS: In the article, you will find an interesting solution, which teaches you to dress up your sandwishes with Little Friskies to treat your office lunch thief. It links me to the cat food commercial about the hunsband Hilbert longing for meat at home. You steal like a cat? You eat what they have!
