Well, you all had some really good guesses, but no-one quite hit the mark - so the answer is:
The Staff was conducting an "apple tasting event" to figure out which types of apples the staff mostly likes, so we can eat a bit more healthy food, as opposed to the chocolate miniature candy items we have out in the reception area for office visitors. Ok, ok, we eat more of it that visitors do. This is making me hungry! Tomorrow I'll try to locate the slip of paper upon which we wrote down the five types of apples we liked best out of the ten we "taste-tested" and advise you of them. I was really surprised at how good some of the apples were. I do recall that the "Honey Crisp" apple gained the highest number of votes among the staff. When I got home that evening and mentioned it to my wife, she said, "Dummy, that's what I've been buying recently." Guess I should have eaten one of them before they got old.

If you can accurately guess what seasonal task the staff was tackling today, you'll win one-year membership renewal!
