The Pudding Guy Story
It may be old news to you FlyerTalkers, but I understand that my pudding-for-miles/charity project will appear in the Marketplace section of tomorrow's (1/24) Wall Street Journal and The WSJ Interactive Edition.

Pudding Guy,
Those of us who met in SF last weekend, mostly from CA (even Rudi!!), are dying to know what part of CA you hail from since we noticed a dearth of Healthy Choice puddings in our Bay Area Grocery Outlets! Next time, join us! We are dying to meet you!
And, congratulations! You are a FlyerTalk genius! You should win any "What I have done for MILES" contest. Hands down.

Way to go PG! The story is already online at WSJ Interactive. Interesting feature. It appears Healthy Choice is keeping mum. See if you can get them to bring the promotion back!!! As an international icon, we need you to lobby for our civil rights (to upgrades and free trips, that is).

Congratulations Pudding Guy! An incredible effort indeed.
I am reading the story right now at the DL CRC in DFW. It is on page B1 of Today's WSJ.

Where were the UPC Symbols on each pack?I thought that the UPC symbols were only on the four packs of pudding? Also myself and a friend of mine purchased 130 six packs of Healthy Choice Soup and donated them to the native Russian Eskimos of eastern Siberia that are relatives to the Eskimos off the coast of far western Alaska. 780 cans almost 1/2 ton.

"The Pudding Guy Story," hmmmm, sounds like a made-for-TV movie. It certainly has all the elements ... pain, drama, suspense (will the certs arrive?) and, finally, triumph!

I'm sooooooooo inspired, Pudding Guy.
So lemme guess. Now you're figuring how to store 1,250 boxes of Kellogg's cereal without your wife finding out about it, right?

This deserves a bump. The dollar coin has been a great run for many, but Pudding Guy is still the standard.
