I have an office. Can I deduct bottled water and snacks for eating in the office?

I am self-employed. This is NOT a home office. Others rarely come to the office, but I stock it with bottled water (there is no water to the building) and snacks. Are these a deductible business expense?

The water would be a deductions under utilities, if there is no running water to the building.  As for the "snack" no.  that is a personal item, unless you provided these as a service to clients that come into the office.
