One day, the airline AAdvantage came up with a bonus program. A bar code from a pack of 25 cents pudding sent by post gave the owner 100 miles. Damn and pleasant.

Brainstorming, a lecturer from UCLA David Phillips sits in his credit launcher, and travelling around a dozen supermarkets in Sacramento district buys all the puddings in them. He replies to the salesmen’s falling jaw that, he said, “they are overwhelmed with products before the ‘Problem of 2000’.

12,500 puddings cost David $3140. In order to write down so many barcodes, he had to hire volunteers from the Salvation Army, at the same time paying for it with some puddings.

Such a turn of events in AAdvantage was not expected. Having received all this good, representatives of the airline decided to pretend to be a hose, stating that they did not receive anything like this by mail. However, the mail receipts presented by Phillips decided the outcome of the case.

David Phillips once received 1,253,000 bonus miles, which would be enough for 31 flights back and forth from California to Europe, 41 flights to Hawaii, 21 flights to Australia or about 50 flights across the United States. So he immediately went on a journey.

Oh yes, that’s not all. Where would you share three thousand puddings?
Phillips handed them over to charity, for which he received $815 a year in tax deductions, and the title of The Pudding Guy.
