The worst foods to eat over a keyboard

Whether it's merely snacking to help pass the time or voraciously devouring lunch while trying to restore the CEO's files we inadvertently deleted, we all eat at our keyboard. On any given day, my keyboard is assaulted with fragments of chocolate, drops of coffee, blobs of spaghetti sauce, and those long, stringy things that fall off bananas.

During a recent keyboard degunking attempt, I found myself musing on what would constitute the absolute worst foods to eat while typing. In making this determination, three factors have to be considered:

• The propensity of the food to fall
• The likelihood of the food becoming attached to or inserted into the keyboard
• The degree of difficulty associated with the removal

With these factors in mind, here are my worst-food nominations:
• Plain whole grain rice
• Angel hair pasta
• Sunflower seeds with shells
• Rice Bubbles (with or without milk)
• Jelly
• A Flake bar
