And, at least with poptarts, I can always eat 'em...
BTW, I presume that reaching for something with which to illustrate your points, you pulled "poptarts" out of midair. Had you chosen "pudding" for that purpose, though, it would have really resonated with MilesBuzz. A search on "pudding" will get you the details of the mythic figure (kinda like DB Cooper, though this one was entirely legal) who saw the opportunity to realize mega-miles with a promo offer for pudding and creamed it. Not many opportunities like that one, though, where one can have one's pudding and one's miles too. But this pay-your-taxes-with-credit-card promo may make the whole thing go down a little more smoothly.
