The thrill among White House aides for special presidential candy would shame any Oompa Loompa at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
With apparently “so much time and so little to do,” many White House aides spend working hours every Thursday competing for special presidential candy, a phenomenon known inside the administration as “candy pickup day,” Politico reported Tuesday.
Fueling the phenomenon is the “rationed” supply of chocolate candy. Each office inside the White House receives a designated delivery amount, which is quickly gobbled by aides. The excitement in some offices reached such heights that office managers reportedly implemented strict rules to prevent staffers from quickly downing the chocolates.
The candy, doled out by the Navy Mess, comes in custom boxes filled with M&Ms, Hershey Kisses, and other sweets “embossed” with the presidential seal and his signature — similar to a golden ticket.
“People get there so early,” said a White House staffer told Politico. “There’s this one woman who every week is there at the front of the line with her laptop.”
The “hype” for the candy reportedly causes a stir on campus. Described as “amusing” and “insane,” the hoopla excites White House staffers to lie to obtain their fair share.
