Feels a bit fake to me. It's a job. They pay you to be there, and they are not your friends. Friends are people who you hang out with after you've both changed jobs several times.

Food isn't a bad perk, although fizzy drinks are not very healthy. The best perk I ever had at a job was a massage. It made me feel great, didn't take too long, and since most everyone got one, it wasn't like you stuck out for taking advantage of it.
