Yep. After spending 10 years in a medium-sized marketing agency, I wrote a recap post called "A beer fridge does not make a culture," which included this bit that the "nerf war" comment made me think of:
"About that beer fridge...It’s pretty cool. So is the pop-a-shot table, the happy hours, the lax dress code, the summer outings (i.e. Drunk Hook-Up Fest), and the staff lunches. But those aren’t culture. Those are nice-to-haves, things that make the good days great and the great days awesome. But they don’t make the bad days good. Please, please, please don’t rely on those kinds of things."
I had pretty similar thoughts to the "free food" bullet point at the bottom. That's so far into "nice to have" territory that I can only see such comments as whinging about how green the neighbor's yard is. (Except, there's actually a chance for you to go live in the neighbor's house, if you really wanted to.)
