Oh, wait. By pudding bar, I thought you were talking about frozen pudding pops (which I hate, but I chose butterscotch as the least of the other evils.) So, are you talking about regular pudding, then? ---

I picked chocolate, though other flavors are just fine too. But it has to be _real_ pudding, not instant: the cooked kind, that has a little bit of a skin on top. And I want $240 worth. ---

All of them, can’t have just one. That is no fun! ---

I could not choose. But I eat vanilla the most with chocolate a close second. Butterscotch is a special treat. And when my sister makes the banana with bananas and Nilla wafers, well, that gets destroyed. Is the lemon nice and tart? ---

So, are you talking about regular pudding, then? Yes, “regular” pudding as in the American milk-based dessert a la Jell-O Pudding or Snack Packs. ---

> [@VOW](#): > > Tapioca. > > Please. > ~VOW Sheldon Cooper: First off, that is axiomatically wrong because the best pudding is chocolate. Secondly, the organic structure of tapioca makes it a jiggling bowl of potential death. 😃 ---

Chocolate tapioca, eaten while it’s still warm. I picked chocolate since tapioca as presented had no flavor option. Second best is the cozy shack Vanilla Tapioca. Mmmmmm, mmmmm. ---

I voted Tapioca, but only if it’s homemade. The stuff you by in a can just don’t taste right, the texture is all wrong! Otherwise, it’s butterscotch or chocolate. ---

I don’t have pudding very often, but when I do, I’m all about the butterscotch. _Mmm_ butterscotch… ---

I chose chocolate, but had a really hard tie deciding between it & Pistachio. ---

Tapioca and rice aren’t “flavors”, are they? They are just types of starch used, which affects texture but they are not the main flavors. ---

I don’t really like pudding, except vanilla tapioca. Weird that vanilla pudding does nothing for me, but throw in some tasteless weird little round blobs, and I love love love it. It just tastes like fun! ---

> [@scr4](#): > > Tapioca and rice aren’t “flavors”, are they? They are just types of starch used, which affects texture but they are not the main flavors. Rice pudding is definitely its own thing. I’ve definitely gotten pudding or pudding-like desserts described simply as “tapioca.” ---

French MFing Vanilla, easily. Butterscotch can be excellent, as can chocolate, of course. Edit : > [@Labtrash](#): > > Whatever they presented to me? 😃 This is the answer. ---

I just recently discoverd awesomeness wrapped in kick-ass. Make your pudding like normal and then before it sets add a cup of cool whip and then let it set. It is heavenly. I am stocking up on pudding mix and cool whip this weekend.
