Reminds me of a scene in the US sitcom The Drew Carey Show. The office had a desk decorating contest and Drew had his desk decorated as a gingerbread house... and everything on the desk was edible. He even gave his boss pink slips made of peppermint (his boss, Mr. Wick-Craig Furgeson-made a hobby out of firing people in different, original ways) which led to him winning the contest.
