Oh yea! Also, don't forget the field trips that take NO extra energy/exertion -- just bring along food to deal with the boredom (or whatever).

Cinco de Mayo!
It's one finger food festival. The ENTIRE school can participate, like, every classroom. Especially in the older grades.

Of course, there are those who get the "I made an extra batch for ____'s sister/brother's class since I was making them anyway" type of drop-offs.

Don't forget the substitute teacher who brings cookies from the bakery to "make friends" with the kids -- and doesn't bother to read the teacher's file noting a child with LTFA in the class.

That reminds me --- a "healthy" snack every day of ITBS testing, for two weeks.
Good heavens -- I'm a sub and I have never even thought of bringing food "to make friends with the kids!" Wow. And I won't be.

"Smarties" candy as "brain food" given before a test. 
I do NOT appreciate this one, even w/o FA.

Jog a thon (school fundraiser done during school hours) - Popsicles afterwards
Weekly ice cream sales after school - fundraiser
Math
Pretzels & cheerios to "make" teen numbers
Candy for graphing - done for many, many days
Projects
Making applesauce, stone soup, cookies
Parent presentations - sometimes they bring food/candy
Reward class parties - rewards for behavior - when the whole class behaves, they get a new letter in a phrase & then have a party once they have all the letters - so far we've had a popcorn party, hot chocolate party & pinata party & pizza party is coming

Cookies or Donuts decorated to match local sports teams can show up on any day there is a game. Extremely likely to show up if there is a big game, like the Stanley Cup, Super Bowl, March Madness.

graphing with food:
m&ms
valentine candy hearts
lucky charms
Lucky charms for st. patricks day
fruit loop necklaces for 100th day
I think most of the things I can think of have been covered already.
OH--what about food and food wrappers in projects--using food or things around the house to make turkeys was one. Some people used food wrappers, others used coffee, beans, etc. There was something nutty on one of them.

You may already have these...I'm too lazy to read the rest of the thread. 
- Pancake breakfast fundraisers
- Home ec classes
- School dances
- Principal passing out candy during testing "to give them an energy boost"
- LANGUAGE CLASSES. With the explanation that the food supports cultural learning about the country and is mandatory. Idiots.
- Pi (pie) day. March 14th. Get it? 3.14 = March 14th. Is this just our school district? Both my kids took in pie that day.
- Pizza Hut reading program.
