One of the perks of working late night at Zazzle is the dinner service. For those Zazzle Team members that toil into the wee hours of the night, they have the option of ordering dinner from some of the local restaurants thanks to a lovely little service called Restaurants on the Run. Being an internet company, when the food arrives, employees announce it via email – hilarity ensues. We just had to share some of the more creative “food is here” emails that have been sent over the years.

What’s your family’s creative way to call everyone to the dinner table?

Table? What table? Zazzlers eat in front of the computer too often!
It once was something like, “Come and get it before your brother eats it all! and there’s nothing left!”

Grits!
I grew up (mostly) in Mississippi. In the South, shouting “grits!” at the top of your voice is an acceptable way to call people to a meal – whether you are serving grits or not.

“Soup’s on!” That is the old standby. “Wakey, wakey. Eggs and bakey” is another one.
“Get it before it’s gone!”
“Strap on your feedbag”
“Chow time”

A family friend, when she’d had enough of cooking,
would place a sign on the fridge. The sign read ‘GYO’.
When the family saw the sign, they would know it was a
‘Get Your Own’ night.
