How much does General Motors spend on coffee?

I'm after a researched statistic of what a large company spends on
something relatively insignificant.

e.g. one example might be, what General Motors spends on coffee per
quarter. Or what Microsoft spends on paperclips/office supplies. Or
what BP spends on watering office plants. You get the idea.

It's for an article though so it does need to be backed-up- with a
reference/source for the stat.

Thanks!

I betcher that even the accountants of these companies don't know!

Typically, accountants bundle lots of trivial stuff together as
'Sundries', 'Office Supplies', etc.

I know because I've been there (but not with any of the companies you've named.)
