Almost three quarters of office workers in an impromptu man-on-the-street survey were willing to give up their passwords when offered the bribe of a chocolate bar.

Hmmm is it a Hershey bar or a Godiva bar? For godiva i'd give you root access.

Maybe companies will now be inspired to make a test like that part of pre-employment screening? :blink:

Maybe the 75% in the survey need to see the movie "Willy Wonka..." again? (Remember the loyalty test involving gobstoppers?) :D

Imagine what he would spill for a York Peppermint Patty :lol:

(I think I'm going to go make another backup...)

Just another reason to live healthy and to be on a neverending diet :)
