Ever curious of what route you could take in order to up your frequent flier miles? Apparently, the secret lies in pudding. Yes, pudding. One individual, henceforth known as the pudding man, managed to rack up some serious mileage doing nothing but purchasing pudding.

I started off buying cans of soup. Then I discovered the chocolate pudding angle. When I found individual cups of pudding selling for $0.25, I escalated my plans, driving to about 15 Grocery Store Outlet stores in a weekend. I filled up my van with chocolate pudding. After that, I made contact with a local Grocery Store Outlet manager and had him special order me 60 more cases of 144! Are you ready for my totals? 12,150 cups of chocolate pudding bought for $3,140 (all doubled) for a total of 1,215,000 miles!

I bet whoever thought of offering mileage points to customers for purchasing items never though pudding man would come along and exploit the deal

    “Pudding Guy” would be David Phillips. His story was the inspiration for the movie Punch-Drunk Love.
