I divide munchies for a living. No kidding. My partner-in-crime, she volunteered to get the job done but wait – how difficulty can that be right? I grabbed four shopping bags of candies and mini-chocolate bars in excess of S$100 home and started dividing them into four piles of munchies.
I riped the first bag of munchies up with such an enthusiasm and energy and in awe, I saw all the candies tossed into the air flying in different directions. Bad start. Not only that, I saw bits and pieces of chocolates and what not landed onto my floor together with an ant. Oh My God! My floor! Alright, I quickly pulled out my newspapers and continue the division. (Note: I don’t eat munchies in real life, my wife Cynthia does.)
Being the obsessive compulsive me, I made sure each pile has the exact number of munchies plus or minus one. Each pile is for 70 people’s one day consumption next week. After packing them up into four carrier bags, I frowned. Between now and next week, how am I to keep them safe from my munchies monster aka (a) my wife and my house pets aka (b) the ants?!
I mean, look at what does one bag of munchies mean? Cynthia will go mad seeing that and could finish them in a weekend! Well, since she is still in Bandung. Let me worry about that later.
But the ants! They are like everywhere! My toothbrush, my LCD monitor, my CDs, my floor …
So I pulled out the oven tray, filled it up with water, rested a plate on top on the steamer stand, and have my four days worth of munchies so unreachable by the ants. I would seriously be amazed if my house pets aka the ants can find a way in.

Alright, my friends told me that it is kind of hard to see from the picture how much munchies are there in one pile because it was all piled up. So I spread them out and took another picture. My friend asked where are Hershey’s Cookies & Cream … and I went … eh. She asked for Kit Kat’s funky flavours … and again, I went … eh. She asked how many munchies in one pile. Oh well, I did a count …
As shown in the picture above, there is an estimation of 240 munchies for 70 adults in one day.
