Every second German treats themselves to a snack at work between meals. This was the result of a study conducted by the University of Ulster in the UK on behalf of Herbalife, analyzing the eating habits of 4,980 office workers across five European countries.
When it comes to small hunger pangs between main meals, German employees most often reach for fruit (36.2 percent) and chocolate (29.2 percent), closely followed by cookies (27.6 percent). The conclusion is obvious: offering chocolate cookies as a treat for staff or clients is a simple way to bring extra joy.
Of course, many people like to mix both – an apple between breakfast and lunch to keep up their vitamins, and a piece of chocolate in the afternoon as fuel for the nerves. The two don’t contradict each other at all. And here’s a fun fact: on average, German office workers are considered the healthiest eaters in Europe.
