Almonds. Full of protein, omega 3 and try to get those stuck between the space and Alt keys.

Anything with sesame seeds. I had one user whose keyboard was so full of them, I just tossed it and gave her a new one.

Balantine

I like trailmix...

What a waste, you could have done this:

heavy black coffee

There is a girl on my team that takes that pretty literally. She's spilled random beverages on about 4 new keyboards in the last month.

Definitely nothing that makes a lot of crumbs or gets your fingers greasy/sticky. I'd say carrots or nuts are a good choice to snack on. Popcorn is an easy go to snack as well - as long as it is not the really buttery bag kind that will get your keyboard all slippery!

I don't ever get them in my keyboard (and a quick shake would easily clean that up) but I do tend to drop them on the ground and then run them over with my chair.

But they are still worth it. Tasty and somewhat healthy. Corn on the cob is NOT the correct food to eat at your desk. I was eating lunch at my desk last summer and ended up with a very dirty screen.

I had to +rep you just because of this comment.

I shared a workstation in school with a guy who ate a McDonald's biscuit at the desk every morning. By the time I got in there for programming class in the afternoon, I had to remember to **** the crumbs out first thing or else I'd have to go back and fix syntax errors.

I love the Blue Diamon almonds. They have some really good flavors.

Certainly not Cheetos. My boss was disgusted to find the keyboard of one of our marketing people the culprit in causing their system to not boot correctly. After noticing some chunks spilling out of the keyboard while carrying it back to be disposed of, we took all the key's off. This is what we found after dropping it once while popping keys off.

We have a corner setup where 4 people I work with, cubes all touch each other and we have every flavor that Walgreen's carries of these things. Just reach up and grab a can and take some. Wasabi Soy are damn delicious too!

Sandwiches are apparently doable with modern technology:
