So there I was, being taken on a tour of Bangorias III and they are regaling me about the benefits of their pudding-based economy. True, tapioca and rice pudding exchange rates do favor the crafty investor, but the risks in spoilage depleting your assets alone seems to be more than enough reason to shy away from such an economic model.
Thoughts?

I love this, and will attempt to make some semblance of a proper response when I have recharged my brain battery.

Ah, the pudding-based economy. If I recall correctly, it is based in part on the economic theories espoused by Professor David Wilson.(*1) Whereupon economic stability can be granted due to the almost elastic nature of the pudding. It can be apportioned infinitely, with weight or volume both being legally definable measures. This lends itself to any number of transactions at once, without the need of proper exchange rates. And while the typical investor might find themselves over their head in sticky goodness, the long term prospects in the futures markets are almost always an assured profit. Due to the relatively short shelf life of fully prepared pudding, many of the newest class of investor hopefuls have taken to bartering with unprepared pudding, even tapioca pearls. And while the world at large often chooses not to recognize such a system, the results speak for themselves.
-Yorkshire has exhibited unnatural economic growth, thanks in no small part to their famous pudding.
-The Jell-O company owes it's entire existence to pudding, as without pudding, gelatin would likely never have been discovered. That is a multi-million dollar industry.
-Pudding has often been regarded as a staple of childrens' lunches for decades. This is an investment in it's purest sense, because those children will in turn go out and purchase pudding for their children, or for themselves.
-It's pudding!
(Did I mention I actually have a 'pudding song'?
And yes, this was written on the spot.)
*1 David Wilson is a reference to Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson, of course.
