Meebo has almost 50 people and they eat a lot! Do you want to know what we eat? I can tell you because I do the grocery shopping.
Most popular:
Fig Newton cookies – Regular, fat free, strawberry, and raspberry are all very popular.
Cashews – Always salted because it’s hard to find unsalted cashews. Trail mix with M&Ms is a frequent second choice.
M&Ms Plain – We finish a 2.8 pound bag each week.
M&Ms Peanut – We finish a 2.8 pound bag in about 2 days!
Bananas – At least 40 a week
Grapes – About 10 pounds a week
Cold Cereal – This is serious business at Meebo, with lots of variety. By far the most popular are all varieties of Honey Bunches of Oats; Plain, Almond, Strawberry (Mark so eloquently called them “dried fruit sponges”), and the Almond flavor wins by a small margin. Cheerios, Wheaties, Raisin Bran, Granola (reg and low-fat)—and occasionally I get a request for Cocoa Puffs—are also on the shelf.
Bagels – About two dozen bagels are toasted and shmeared each week.
Crackers – Wheat Thins are the most popular, followed by Triscuits. Ritz aren’t a big hit, and Saltines got stale before they were eaten.
Yogurt – After testing a variety of yogurts, Yoplait is the only brand I order. The team likes about 50/50 Original (the red label) and Light (the blue label). I think I’ve got Carter hooked on my favorite snack – plain old-fashioned oatmeal right out of the box (you know, the round box) smothered in your favorite yogurt. Yummy and healthy.
In the freezer – Popsicles are a nice summer snack, and for the more hardy appetites, Hot Pockets. Simon’s leftover ice cream cake was gone in a day. I think the ice is waaaaaay old.
And what do we drink to wash that all down?
Milk – At least a gallon every week. The 1% variety is the most popular, followed by 2%. I order nonfat for someone (they keep adding it to the grocery list) but that will be the last to go.
Soy milk – Plain, Chocolate, Vanilla. Someone asked, “Why do the soy milk drinkers get chocolate and the regular milk drinkers just get plain milk?” Because chocolate milk is waaaaaay more expensive (and we’re still on a start-up budget).
Tea – We have a wide variety of hot tea drinkers. Green tea, earl grey, non-caffeinated, blackberry, chai, etc. I think we have just about every kind of tea except Lipton. I once found “regular tea” on the grocery list. That’s like saying I want to buy a “regular car.” There are just too many options to call tea “regular.”
Soda – Not a lot of soda drinkers at Meebo. The most popular is Diet Coke + Coke Zero, followed by regular Coke. Mountain Dew is reserved for those very late nights. Most people drink water.
Juice – A gallon of orange juice or more is consumed each week. I’m not sure if they like the pulp or no-pulp version. I order equal amounts of each and it’s always gone by the end of the week. Someone likes cranberry juice and it appears on the grocery list every once in a while.
My favorite beverage – A glass of Mt. View’s Hetch Hetchy Valley tap water!
We do our best to recycle too. Everything we can recycle has a container. 
Go have a healthy snack!

October 9th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Damn, thats lots of food!

Hey….. that’s basically all the stuff I like to chow on….
is there a vacancy at the Meebo Office… I wanna join, even if it’s a tea lady position I’ll take it immediately….!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Sob sob sob.. now I’m hungry too…. all these food, and I’m not there to share ‘em with you guys… sob sob sob
October 9th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I really don’t know how to say this, but reading this blog was the best thing I’ve done in a while. Reading the name and seeing the picture of the author, I had an epiphany. Mrs. Biondi?? I don’t know if you remember me, but I’m Devanshi, the little girl next door from Morgan Hill. And, I’m not so little anymore. I’ve been trying to get in touch for a while. I was just telling my friend the other day about those long lost days, and Alyssa. I miss her. Can you please tell her that for me? It’s wondrous how the internet can bring people together like this. Thank God for Meebo.

Wowzers
October 9th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Wow. That’s a lot of food. I like drinking miso soup.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Fig Newton cookies – I forgot about them. They are soo good.
Grapes – I wish I got to add grapes on my grocery list, but they get vetoed.
Cold Cereal – Honey Bunches of Oats Almond is DEFINITELY the best cereal.
Bagels – I would eat an onion bagel smothered in Honey Oat (I think?) cream cheese EVERY DAY.
Yogurt – The only kind I’ll eat is the Key Lime Pie fat free yogurt… good stuff.
Milk – I thought I was the only one who liked nonfat! I can’t drink anything else.
Soy milk – I thought I was the only one who actually likes soy milk, too.
Soda – I can’t believe more people don’t drink soda. It’s my #1 choice.
But that is soo much food!
October 9th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
YAY TEA! Earl Grey is awesome, if you guys like that try Lady Grey, its one of my favorites.
Sounds like you guys are a pretty awesome office environment.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
For yogurt have you tried Breyers, it’s more expenseive but if you can find it on sale you can stock up on it. And “regular” tea i think means like the type of tea you get in the little bags (you know where you just put the bag in a cup or something and make it that way.)
October 9th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Wow.. you people really have no lives. I don’t think people wonder in their daily lives what you purchase at the grocery store.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
*walks to cupboard*
*takes out Honeybunches of Oats with Strawberries*
*eats*
*munch munch*
way to make me hungry!!
October 9th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Thats a lot of food! SOUNDS GOOODD!!!!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
No Frosted Flakes for Cereal ? Great Blog .. Enlighten it is
October 9th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
May sound healthy but it’s really not all that great, thats a huge amount of carbs and sugar in there. Light doesnt mean sugar free…and fat free doesnt mean low cal. And half of that has high frutose corn syrup in it… EW
October 9th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
how come u guys dont get fat as hell????????????????????seriously? also got a built in gym????????? or mere thinking burns that much fat?
October 9th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
wow, i will my company supplies snacks just like Meebo.. We only have stale biscuits and coffee that tastes like dishwater.. Yucks!
October 9th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Too much sugary food.
Bet you all got a paunch!
October 10th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Ooh, cashew nuts. Cashews are yum!
Chestnuts, almonds, pine seeds, and cashews are all great sources of vegetable fat (good stuff), preferrably without roasting or salting.
For sweet stuff, I try to avoid anything but fruits and pure fresh pressed fruit juice. I keep a tiny bag of raisins at work. If I can’t bring fruit with me (apples or pears or oranges etc) I pop a raisin in for a small boost.
Make sure to drink a full glass of water after a banana. Bananas (along with grapes and figs) should be consumed with moderation.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:26 am
You all have more food there than we do at home for a month.
Also my job never buys us that much. Occationaly they order a few pizzias, although I work overnights and theres nothing left and nothing orderd for us. we have vending machines, and they are nice enough to keep a microwave and plastic wear around. Working at meebo sounds like heaven.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:34 am
I would be very interested to have photos and weight summary of your team now and in 10 years running on this grocery list.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:46 am
Wow thats a lot of food for only 50 ppl.
You have more food than we have for a month in a week lol.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:39 am
Diet Contents looks good. Fruit and Fiber rich diet should be preferred over Protien rich diet .
October 10th, 2008 at 4:19 am
Wow I guess that was really nice.
But good luck to your team. I hope everybody is in good health.
Try to have veggie salad in your stocks.
October 10th, 2008 at 4:22 am

October 10th, 2008 at 5:11 am
That is a lot of food. Seems like this is the opposite of the unhealthy lazy programmer stereotype lol. Good and healthy foods keeps everyone alert behind the keyboard! Keep up the good work
October 10th, 2008 at 5:34 am
I wish I worked at meebo! Are you hiring? I would love to work at a place that had all those snacks
October 10th, 2008 at 5:35 am
I don’t care what you eat. Please make these daily blogs go away! Please, i’m begging you. i’ll do anything…..
October 10th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Holy crap. I drink 2 gallons of milk MYSELF every 6 days! 1 gallon for almost 50 people?? hehe. awesome list.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:51 am
Milk – At least a gallon every week. The 1% variety is the most popular, followed by 2%. I order nonfat for someone (they keep adding it to the grocery list) but that will be the last to go.

I love Sprite and Sierra Mist but mostly drink juice ^_^
October 10th, 2008 at 6:26 am
No coffee drinkers in the house??
October 10th, 2008 at 6:33 am
I usually find unsalted cashews at the local health food store along w/many other types of nuts. As I remember, you guys are in the Bay Area, so health food stores shouldn’t be hard to find. Buona fortuna!
October 10th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Wait, so Meebo pays for all that food for its employees?
That’s pretty freaking cool if you ask me!!!!
October 10th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Glad to see some beautiful fresh fruit in the mix! I got turned on to Natalia Rose’s “Raw Food Detox Diet” at the beginning of the year (while reading reviews of Carol Alt’s book at Amazon,) then moved on to Dr. Doug Graham’s 80/10/10 Diet this summer. WOW, what a difference unprocessed, living food makes!
Dropped four dress sizes by just incorporating more uncooked fruits and veggies into my daily routine (2:1 raw-to-cooked) and no longer suffer from chronic sick headaches, fatigue and depression, to name a few of my former ills. Energy skyrocketed and I have a whole new lease on life, and then I discovered Meebo! It doesn’t get any better than this
Enjoying everyone’s blog posts here — thanks for keeping it personal and inviting us into your world. Hope you find a new space with spacious restroom facilities very soon!!

A lot of Poor People around the work don’t have this food for a month… Meebo people think about the rest of the word.
October 10th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Wow! That’s so cool. Fun environment, cutting edge company and with full cabinets filled with good food. Hire me, please! What you could do is, besides recycling the packages, you could also use glass instead of plastic cups and mugs, and also compost the organic waste. This way Meebo stays green 100% of the time.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Interesting blog; it sounds like Meebo takes care of you guys (food wise at least). I like that you guys at Meebo are doing your best to recycle.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:07 am
You know what’s funny? Every time I come to comment, I see all the people talking about how they hate the blogs. What I don’t get is why someone would take time to read/comment on something they hate THAT much. I think you should write a blog about why you write blogs and how they’re here to stay (yay!)…somehow I don’t think anyone who, you know, mattered, would stop using meebo. Snarkiness, aside…I also found this funny:
“I think I’ve got Carter hooked on my favorite snack – plain old-fashioned oatmeal right out of the box (you know, the round box) smothered in your favorite yogurt”
I didn’t know boxes were round…
Okay, NOW i’m done being snarky, carry on. (long live meebo blogs!)
October 10th, 2008 at 7:13 am
I just can’t believe you supply food for your employees!!
That doesn’t happen on this side of the country! (at least not for free)
October 10th, 2008 at 7:14 am
Very Interesting.

October 10th, 2008 at 7:39 am
I’d seriously suggest for health reasons (unless you need to build your immune system) to stop eating the fig newtons. I know they say all places have their issues, but the food processing used for fig newtons is utterly disgusting. I really mean it, the things they grind up with the food are disgusting
I don’t know many employees who worked there in the manufacturing that would eat them. When you see a large amount of rats/rat feces get mixed into the food, it tends to do that.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Hey guys – I wanted to comment about Fig Newtons!
Recently in my house we’ve started eating Fig Newmans – the newton knockoff from Paul Newman’s Organics line. Now, I’m not a vegetarian or anything, but I do like less processing and chemicals and such where possible – but I was blown away, Fig Newmans are SO much better tasting than the originals. I can’t decide whether I like the Low Fat or the No Wheat – No Dairy variety better (we tried a few of the different types) – but all I know is that whenever a package of them is opened, I’m unable to stop eating them. That never happens with original Newtons.
Cheers – sounds like a fun place to work; I’d apply if I weren’t on the east coast =0)
October 10th, 2008 at 8:06 am
@Brandon: Yuck!
I used to love Fig Newtons, and feed them to my kids as snacks. Now I will no longer buy…
October 10th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Ha ha! I enjoyed reading your list. You are great snackers, with great tastes!
October 10th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I thought Yoplait yogurts contained HFCS?? You sure are eating a lot of “healthy” stuff but still poisoning yourself with HFCS? Yuck. If I’m wrong, sorry.. I just haven’t seen a Yoplait label in awhile, ever since every single one had HFCS in it.
October 10th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Soy milk taste nasty…

So..i log onto meebo…and theres always some lame-ass memo posted there to greet me. Hell, one of the last ones was about your womens room being down a long, lonesome corridor and you had to install a webcam to see if it was in use to save time. But seriously…why the hell do you people post this stuff? I mean, does anyone REALLY sit here using meebo and wonder what the hell you people eat in a week? I think not. Do you think we care about your bathroom needs? Im skeptical as well. Granted, im sure you would attract some freaks if you linked the live feed TO the bathroom cam, but thats another store.
So seriously, since someone obviously goes through quite a bit of effort to post these trifles, cant you put their time to better use? Have you nothing better to do with your capital than pay people to author a grocery list for the staff?
October 10th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I thought this was a great add…like the personal touches you add…but I would definitely recommend Kashi cereals. Strawberry Hill and Heart to Heart Wild Blueberry are my favorites!!!
October 10th, 2008 at 8:53 am
BAGELS!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I haven’t had one in a long time!!! Now I feel deprived…
*sob!*
October 10th, 2008 at 8:55 am
umm wow i need to work with u guys for like 6 months it would help me for my diet
October 10th, 2008 at 9:02 am
it’s all great, tasty food, but i think you guys could have some healthier selections. tehe. =]
i agree – try kashi. it’s such a great brand. i always have boxes upon boxes of kashi snack bars, cereal, and crackers stored in my house.
you should try and incorporate whole grain cereals, and other whole grain products. while the sugar and carbs taste good, it will eventually have a negative effect on the company.
October 10th, 2008 at 9:06 am
All those Techies and no Coffee???
I’m a little on the health nut organic fair trade consumable side myself…
but no coffee???? I don’t think I’d survive it.
October 10th, 2008 at 9:09 am
wow. im really boredd. im surprised i just red thatt. well yummy. u made me want food. grrrrrr. im gonna go get some donuts. okay gooood bye

October 10th, 2008 at 9:26 am
…. Because chocolate milk is waaaaaay more expensive (and we’re still on a start-up budget)….
Do you mean Meebo provides all this food? My company doesn’t provide any food. On top of that, lunch costs me 4 extra euros every day at the restaurant whatever I order. Well my company employs 50,000 people so I suppose it’d be very expensive if they had to feed each and everyone. Lucky people who work for Meebo

Wow, Rob.. a bit snarky doncha think?
I love that someone out there takes the time to put a face (and an office and a bathroom et al) to some of the technology we take for granted everyday. Makes it a little less chilly. It isn’t too much of a hardship to simply close that blog box, and apparently entertains enough of us to stay. So, bravo Meebo, and somebody set up an automatic feature that lets u turn off the blog for those who won’t take the time to close it, but will take the time to “mention” it.
October 10th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Surprisingly enough since it is an office NO ONE drinks coffee????

A suggestion to bring up for future plans at meebo:
Connect to email accounts.
The first thing I do in the morning is open meebo and each of my email websites. I would love to open only meebo. Imagine a list of email accounts at the top of your buddy list with # of unread messages. When you click, a side panel expands (just as it does when you start webcam or games) with your inbox.
As for feasibility, it has been done, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail2web for example.
October 10th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Lipton or iced tea i think is considered, regular tea. And it is what i prefer to drink than all the other fancy things.
I think a 4 door sedan coudl be considered a regular car
October 10th, 2008 at 10:49 am
You should stop feeding your employees diet food, are you trying to kill them?
check to see if anything has aspertame, that causes cancer, do your research!!
October 10th, 2008 at 10:57 am
To the person that said fig Newtons have rat feces in them. Rat feces causes an extreme illness that results in hospitalization and even death. If fig newtons contained them then undoubtedly many people would be hospitalized and the fig newtons would cease to exist. Plus with as long as they have been around I am pretty sure a health inspector at some point would catch this and they would be forced to clean up their act or be shut down. If that was all hearsay then I would make sure you had solid proof before posting things of the sort.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:39 am

I really liked this post. It’s so cute! I wish I worked for a company with that much food!
October 10th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Omfgsh that is so much frigging food. Man that’s nuts. How many people are there, because if there’s only like 50 of you then you’re all crazy
October 10th, 2008 at 1:40 pm

October 10th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
I hope my mom does a good job with the food! She defiantly knows how to make people happy with her food!! I also know whenever i came up the elevator and into that kitchen it was always packed with food, and when its not she makes that trip to Costco!
But you all better remember she is my Momma Bear before any of the co-workers!! : )

“Regular tea” probably means black tea. And Lipton’s isn’t a type of tea, it’s a brand.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
wow you are definitely a good shopper, and you guys at Meebo are pigs! Healthy though….
October 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
“Regular tea” is Orange Pekoe, and Pekoe cut black tea. so its not like saying a “regular car” at all. almost every manufacturer uses this as their ice tea mix. someone needs some tea brushups. lol
October 10th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
umm regular tea is a tea. called breakfast tea or everyday tea.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Burn that VC money! Next, let’s purchase an espresso machine!
October 10th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
haha! Honey Bunches of Oats are the BEST! My favourite are honey roasted, or almond.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
wow…eating while working, how nice. love that.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
hahahahaha, wow that’s crazy, hahaha.
i wanna work at meebo now!
October 10th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
DAYUM! You feed your people? You’re a start-up company? We’re lucky to have free coffee at my company!!! You guys are privileged!
October 10th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Why do you feed your employees??
October 10th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Where is the beer?
October 10th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
are you guys for real?
October 10th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Yeah i can’t believe all that food is bought for the employees. We have coffee, tea, and hot cocoa mixes at my company. And lately we’ve they’ve been bringing in fruit for our monthly meetings. And like once a year we have a free meal. But all that food every week/month?? Wow. You ppl have it good.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
If I had a $1 for every startup that frittered away their VC funding on pampering I’d be lying on a beach taking in the sun. (and who gives out those $1’s anyway?).
Seriously – focus on your customers. *They* are the most important part of your business. Yes – your staff is important too, but build a winning company by ploughing every dollar into your customer experience. They’ll thank you for that.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Woah, that’s a ton of food!
PS. I just LOVE Meebo! Thank you!
October 10th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
OMG, Okay.. Do you have any Kroger stores there? Or any store that Kroger owns? Here’s a list of the ones they DO own.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroger You’ll have to scroll down to the section that says “Chains.” I know the parent company themselves always, always, always sells their chocolate milk at the same prices their D milk, skim, 2%, etc. sell for, and hopefully you can find one there that does the same! =D
October 10th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
When you say “except Lipton”, it makes me think that you don’t like Lipton teas, or think down on them.
I really love Lipton teas. Have you tried their pyramid bags?
http://www.liptont.com/our_products/pyramid/index.aspx
Seriously, they have nothing in them except for tea leaves, dried fruit, cinnamon bark, & all natural stuff.
And they have a green tea w/ orange or some citrus peel in it that’s really good too. Give em a try.
No, I don’t work for Lipton
& Yes, I do talk up Meebo in the same way to ppl who use specific Instant Messengers! (I even have the meebo badge up on my site, I love it so much!)
October 10th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Oops, I see most of your list are among worst food lists. We had the same my office and got to change it completely with healthy and organic foods, drinks and snacks.
Good luck!
October 10th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Oh, & you can find any unsalted nuts (walnuts, cashews, almonds, peanuts, etc. in huge bulk bags) at any Indian or Middle Eastern or Mediterranean store.
They’re better than the salted versions b/c most salted nuts are also roasted. The nuts are often roasted in hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil that introduces cholesterol-raising trans fats.
October 10th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
No coffee!!!?? How do you survive on no coffee???
October 10th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
i like alot of the same things meebo likes for soda i like dr.pepper or pepsi but will drink a few other kinds.

When there is industry there is competition. The bigger the player, the harder they can play. The big players always try to consume many of the small competitors.

October 10th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
oh, and PLEASE ignore comments saying “this is stupid”, “stop these blogs”
i personally love these blogs and sure that many others do as well!
it’s very interesting. those who do not want to read it can just choose not too
October 10th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
I noticed that nobody in Meebo drinks coffee. LOL.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:27 am
I think it is worthwhile feeding employees, because satisfied employees work the hardest and they give back to the company… all of which makes for the great customer experience.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:28 am
Warning: remember the poisoned milk from China??? ( it was an accident FYI ) well it means don’t eat the M&M’s its poisonous! and I love yourfood and drinks! =P
October 11th, 2008 at 1:42 am
tnx meebo team..thats all i can say as of now..
October 11th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Perhaps your normal duties do not provide you enough to do in a day if you have time to write this sort of stuff. Maybe you should go buy more cookies…

I have never heard of a company supplying free food for their employees on a daily basis. Must be a new thing. Most small business are doing all they can to make payroll every week. Wow! And yes….where is the coffee?…..with sugar free hazelnut cream please
October 11th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Hey, be careful with that yogurt!
About 60-80% of the population in American is allergic to High Fructose Corn Syrup — a cheap sweetener substitute for food. You can find it in… well… almost everything. Most folks don’t notice it because it’s got an ignorable reaction, for some people anyways… I won’t go into too much detail, but it can land someone in the bathroom for an hour or more. It’s often mis-diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, if you get my drift.
You might want to check your yogurt and your popsicles — also any non-diet soda (pop here in Pittsburgh!) and even your juice! Even products that are marketed as “all natural” can contain this gunk, since it’s derived from regular corn syrup it doesn’t seem to count as “unnatural” even though it’s chemically altered.
Also, by cutting HFCS out of the diet, a lot of people feel much better in their day to day lives and start to lose weight. It probably helps that you drink less pop and eat less stuff that’s bad for you.
Just looking out for the Meebo team, and all the Meebo users who read my ramblings!

Wow, I can’t say that I’ve ever worked in an environment where there was so much food sitting around (except for in the cafeteria at my office building, but you have to pay for that).

what a greedy and feral the American is,while the other world peoples suffering from hungry and your occupations and every day die .you are talking a bout huge quantity and variety of foods ..if you are believers in GOD, so wake up and prevent your government which killing my people..because your army is army of criminals and thiefs.and don’t be guileless as you now and before and cheated by your mass media and your bad licentious government..and as per i am moslem i red in my religion it is really this life just like the paradise for the unbelievers and for the believers it is looks like a jail ..so my advice is to read more about the fact of islam from pure source not from distorted one..Baraa
October 11th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
This is insane, all these things and NOT one little glass of wine and a piece of cheese!!!
You know that who makes your job needs at least a glass of wine a day?
I’m going to send you a case of our wine from Tuscany. You’ll see: you’ll be less productive, but
you will be surprised about all the new ideas popping up in your mind like mushrooms.
Ciao.

i LOVE tea.
people generally mean black tea, when they say “regular tea”.
but you should buy the black tea collection from bigelo. it comes with english breakfast, irish breakfast, earl grey, and lady grey.
very good stuff.
and the celestial seasonings blueberry breeze is DELICIOUS iced. (w/o suger)

October 11th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
u r chese form december year 1 in today
October 11th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Hi you all,
Some may not like what I have to say, but its a fact anyway. All the snacks mensioned except for the soda is actually good, but keep in mind that its not the amount that one consumes but rather what you consumes that makes one healthy.So the choices are healthy but hey remember too much of anything is bad. A balance diet is the way to go. go enjoy your quality be careful of the quantity.
This is Allison from beautiful Bellize saying live healthy and free, have fun.
October 11th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Wow, that’s interesting to know.

kool! wish i could visit meebo’s company someday and try some of that food. most of the food that the people at meebo eat is what i eat sometimes during parties and when i play games with friends, for instance. but eating healthy plus exercise need to be our everyday priorities including the people at meebo. take care! see ya.
October 11th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
‘…we’re a startup’ and you’re buying free food for the troops.
Nothing says ‘burn the cash while you’ve got it’ like free food that no one keeps track of.
Hey, let’s party like we’re an Internet company in 1999….
October 11th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I thought… why not? I don’t have anything else to do now so i might just as well read that!…
Interesting! How many people eat that?
I like meebo, thank you guys!
see ya’
