"I just wish we had all known about it in time to be "pudding people" also."
Well, I tried telling about the pudding deal back in August (see my post from 8/24 on
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/001617.html ), but very few people were excited about it at the time. I myself ended up buying 2 cases of pudding, and had my sanity questioned by several of my friends. Now, after the Pudding Guy coup, I wish I bought more pudding!
And to add to the "moral aspect" discussion - that pudding has been sitting on the shelf at my local Grocery Outlet since July, and the sales were very poor. I'm sure that the situation was pretty similar at other stores. So if Pudding Guy didn't buy all that pudding and donate it to charity, it would probably have been thrown out when it expired.
