You weren't goofing off, you were applying the scientific method while at the same time engaging in team building.

I'm not even kidding. That incidental silliness is valuable. A year later, you run across a problem where a customer explains a problem you don't understand, and then you have a flashback to that time when you did a blind taste test. You look at your colleague and whisper "Hey, remember that blind taste test we did that time?" and their eyes light up.

A bit of ridiculous goes a loooong way. Embrace the weird and fun.
Per the other thread, they were "goofing on".
