A tradition in CS50 is to serve cake (or cupcakes) after the course’s first lecture. And that tradition has since evolved into snacks in the middle of every lecture. Of course, those snacks don’t readily translate to video, and such comments as these online have not been uncommon:

• So ive come to realise that im going to need cookies and cupcakes on standby whilst watching the lectures.
• When professor Malan says “Let’s take our 5-minute break, you have cupcakes outside” but you’re watching a recorded lecture and you get no cupcakes :-(

But no longer! Happy to say that the CS50 Video Player now includes a menu of snacks, complete with cake and healthier options alike!

Eat your vegetables!
