From what I've seen at the various LANs I've been to:
Soda - I know this might be obvious, but it's a staple. Try and pick a few varieties to cover different tastes (a cola, a lemon-lime, an orange maybe, you get the picture)
Fresh Carrots, broccoli, etc and dip - I know, WTF HEALTHY FOOD NEVAR, but seriously, consider it. Crunchy, hella addictive, and clean unless one of your friends is dip-impaired.
^ benefits to both of these being that at most they shouldn't leave more than water on your hands, easily wiped off on a paper towl/shirt/friend/couch/whatever.
Slightly messier stuff:
Pocky, like Konata said, is great. Basically like eating a cookie without getting the chocolate chips all over yourself. Still does crumbs though.
Deviled eggs - These happened once, I have no idea why, but it was freaking amazing. We nom'd the crap out of these, and each one is basically bite size, awesomeness. Does require cooking skillz though.
Little Pretzel sticks, Pocky's western cousin. Clean, tastes good, but will make you thirsty as hell.
Don'ts:
Ice cream - it may be that you guys are better eaters than we usually are, but someone always manages to get this on their hands and fuck up whatever they're using
Chips - greasy, usually covered in some sort of flavoring. They hate your gear, and will do their best to get in every nook and cranny possible.
Granola/Nature Valley/Chewy bars - Anything in this vein is either horribly sticky, or showers everything in the vicinity in crumbs with every bite. Keyboards hate them.
