Nut Goodie box
You want to send one Pearson’s Nut Goodie bar to a friend representing each of his 40 years, making up for missing a milestone event by way of volume and exclusivity — he can’t get Nut Goodies where he lives. How many will you have to send per month to get them there before next mid-January?
Please discuss the pros and cons of weekly, monthly, or whenever-you-get-to-the-post-office delivery, as well as the humor-to-irritation index of fractional Nut Goodie delivery.
Please also include a projection and cost-benefit analysis of time spent finding and purchasing Nut Goodies, choosing packaging, writing (or not writing) clever or thoughtful notes, and standing in line, as well as potential extra costs incurred for express delivery fees.
Extra Credit: If you have a food scale which, in a pinch, can double as a postage meter, please provide a comparison chart that breaks down the costs of increased packaging and stamp usage to meet the more frequent delivery requirements of reduced weight packages.

What the heck are Pearson’s Nut Goodies anyway? Say my friend has a peanut allergy, so I’d better not send them…
They’re chocolate candy with a maple-peanut center made by a local candy company.
I would send all 40 bars right now–because postage is going up soon. I always think it’s best to get a gift when you are least expecting it, and he can always freeze them until he’s ready to eat them.
Being a Southerner, I’ve never had one of these. I hear they are good though.
I have a kitchen scale but math gives me a rash. Save yourself the trouble and eat the bars yourself. Send him a card and a Starbucks card loaded with $40.
Walgreens sells them.
Awesome! You read my mind, because the one place I could remember seeing them closed.
