Speaking of space food, I received a package from a company I didn't recognize at work. It contained space food for me to eat at work, along with an advertising pitch that if I used their services, I'd have time to go home instead of having to eat at work.

Here's a photo of the space food package and advertising pitch: http://db.tt/bUDfgi48

When I was in college I remember seeing a box of snacks sent by some device company (maybe for laser equipment?) in the lab somewhere. Cute (and I bet effective) marketing in a world where decisions for $5000 purchases are made by people who eat ramen and are swayed by a $10 box of granola bars and stuff.

Probably Lab Snacks from ThorLabs.

YES! That's it. Brings back memories from my senior design project looking through the ThorLabs catalog for the right laser components.
