I swear mam, no one is calling you that.
That would be highly unprofessional and totally not keeping in the vein of great customer service you have received lo these many years.
What lo?
Its an old timey word, like in the Bible.
I use it to distract my customers from asking why a grown man is standing ten feet away from me and yelling “Snack hole” while pumping his fist in the air and deciding on a nutty bar or a star crunch.
I am an early adopter of snack technology and I hate the vending machines at my work.
They contain things that should not be vended in such a manner.
Want a mid-afternoon hotdog?
How bout an egg salad sandwich?
The salmonella is free.
How bout a pack of gum for $2?
My rage at the vending machine gave life to a new idea, the snack hole. A small lucite box containing ho ho’s and zebra cakes and other snack-treats that I can share with my co-workers and thereby crush the scourge of the vending machine.
I ask for no money and make one rule, before taking said treat you must yell “Snack Hole”.
Over the months the snack hole has grown in size and variety.
I can now boast 12 different snacks that may rotate on a seasonal basis.
Hundreds of glow sticks fill the snack hole from time to time as do Spider Man stickers.
The snack hole has grown in size from a 3 quart box to a 6 tier snack delivery system.
It has wheels now now!
This November will be 1 year of snackholing and I say huzzah.
I am proud to say that for $50 a month the snack hole has brought joy to hundreds and bewilderment to a few.
God I love this country!

SNACK HOLE!!!
I always wonder where the vending machine egg salad sandwiches are made. Did someone actually boil and peel and chop eggs or is there some sort of premade paste that is just squeezed out of a tube? Either way, I’m not eating it.
SNACK HOLE!
(I’ll take two glow sticks please.)
MMMM…. Vending machine Chili Dogs. Piping hot exterior with a cool center. Just the way uncle Steve made ‘em.
You are wrong, so very wrong.
lol
@HIF
I see the people that refill our machines and they seem nice. I just don’t trust the sandwiches, its a freaking vending machines! I am waiting for the machine that vends milk or warm yogurt.
Milk and Warm Yogurt was the name of my 3rd album back in 88. Damn Wham, knocked me off the carts.
I fucking love nutty bars.
First off let me say, thats what she said! Secondly, I found them in the very rare single pack configuration.
Yay!
SNACK HOLE!
Thats a great idea.
so Chris, i finally sign up for your blog, and i’ve got your wordpress installation telling me i need to remind you to upgrade.
you need to put your ho on a leash.
also: i feel like i’m commenting in a fruit salad with this color scheme.
seriously, what’s with you and the melons?
also: we should keep track of how little time passes before i get the b&hammer on pka.
I will leash the Word Press ho if that is what you are referring to. as far as “also: we should keep track of how little time passes before i get the b&hammer on pka.” I am not sure what you mean as I am not hip with the lingo of the street.
yeah “pka”, or “the pka”. that’s what i’m calling this now that i’m a member.
“oh what am i doin? just chillin’ on the pka, no big deal.”
snack hole…awesome!
Wow I love this idea. I love that while the Snack Hole is “free” it bring enjoyment to those surrounding it because the snacker has to yell “Snack Hole!”. Awesome concept.
Snack Hole is one of the filthiest combinations of words I have ever heard. I am immediately co-opting it for my imaginary firm of lawyers – Snackhole, Gotobed and Bone. I am their secretary. I take dictation. That’s what she said.
You beat me to it, (that’s what she said)!
Its funny, I was worried about the words being shouted across our office with 200 employees in range.
I went to my HR guy about an unrelated matter and he asked if I was the snack hole guy. I sheepishly nodded and he went on to tell me how funny he thought it was.
Our office snack hole is called “Will Mart”. I should suggest the name to him. I might get fired, but it’s worth a try!
dude, you changed your look…wow. what brought this dark bluesey mood on?
Not sure
…she said as she held the computer further away from her failing eyesight…is it the teeny tiny font, or is it the white on black that makes me squint so?
press cntrl as you scroll the wheel on the mouse
I like this. Elegant and understated…but I do miss the sexy pic of Sean Connery in his orange…um…underwear? hahaha!
but this simple look is very nice. Kudos!

Sorry your music career was short lived, but you have to admit Damn Wham was awesome. I don’t know who though of combining Damn Yankees and Wham!, but George Michael and Ted Nugent are incredible together.
We have something like that where I work. It’s called and Candy Bomb, and it is litterally and Candy Bomb. once in a while the supervisors will get together and buy a ton of candy. then they will go charging into the building and scream “candy bomb!” I learned very quickly to duck and cover when I heard that. They throw great handfuls of candy up into the air and it actually kinda hurts when you get hit with something.
OH MY GOD NUTTY BARS I’M EATING ONE RIGHT NOW
TWSS
Maaaaaaaaan, i miss the snack hole bro……i miss the annoyed face on some of the other supervisors…i loved watching people walk by the snack hole and act as if they didnt plan on grabbing a snack, and instead ask, “whats this” and follow the facetious statement by grabbing 8 snacks! hahaha…we miss ya buddy!
‘Oh what is this? A snacking depository of some kind. I shall have to weigh the options and perhaps I shall return at a later time to partake. Perchance might I take a snack or 8 whilst I peruse this snackery that you have?”
So let me get this straight – no one pays for the snacks they take out of the snack hole? What kind of business model is that?
This kind, minus the hat.
I got in trouble at work for boycotting the soda machine and bringing in diet coke for the people at work.
