Hola Amigos!
Where else can you walk into work and the Director of Design, Derek Carroll has whipped up Huevos Rancheros for your breakfast. Muchas Gracias hombre! “Why is it so?” We call it Snack Day or sometimes I like to call it ‘Snackus Dayus’ the Greek God of sharing food. Staff members take it in turns to make, bake or create a snack to share with everyone, you’re given a $20 budget and away you go.
We’ve had some outstanding creations over the years with our resident foodie Rach delivering jaw dropping deserts and treats, we’ve snacked during great sporting competitions – Dave’s Strawberries and Cream whilst Wimbledon was on, Lachy went for a 70’s classic once with his kabana, cheese and cocktail pickled onion on a toothpick very Don’s Party. How could we forget Dom’s invention of putting a marshmallow between two Maire biscuits and microwaving it for 10 secs!!! We’re still getting great pleasure in giving Dom grief over that one as it has now been officially named worst snack day of all time.
Here are some images of our favorites, sorry for the quality of some of these images, most were taken by our phones;

Em, great collection of images, making my stomach rumble and it’s only 9am. You know what they say about the best way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach – and we loooove snack day.
I feel honoured to be included in Rachel’s list of stunners.
The pressure is on, who’s next??
Now time for a coffee and some brekkie!!

I could eat all those snacks all over again right now.
Only two more sleeps till the next snake day…
I love it! What a fun internal brand experience to have in your workplace. And boy you by the looks of things you have some great cooking talent in there. Rachel O’Brien, please go on Masterchief!
The pressure is certainly on indeed – back soon in the hope of making the next cut!
Feed the man meat. Surely one of you guys have produced the humble sausage roll for a snack day! Looks a very fancy agency!
Wow! this rachel o’brien chick clearly knows her stuff…. MC 2012??
Dave,
It’s a shame we haven’t taken a photo of all the Snack Day’s we have had over the years, we would’ve been able to produce “Snack Day” the cook book.
Lachy,
Yes it would be nice to revisit some of the snack day hero’s. Maybe we can do one week at the end of the year where every day is Snack Day and we revisit our favourites.
Derek,
There’s no denying you’ve cooked up some wonderful treats for us over the years also, you’ve come a long way from the Donut Van at South Melbourne Markets.
Vern,
Thank you for your comments, we also believe Rachel O’Brien should be a contestant on Master Chef. We’ve been trying to convince her to go on it since the show started.
Reg,
Funny you should mention the humble sausage roll – our Brand Scientist Peter Single has delivered the sausage roll & party pie Snack Day experience on a few occasions. Always a big hit with the punters.
Amy,
We all agree with you Rach should be on Masterchef. Maybe we can create a Facebook page ‘Let’s get Rach on Master Chef’
You should start a petition for Rachel O’Brien to be in the next Masterchef series.
There will be NO petitions or facebook pages peeps!
