Cross-posting from the main thread:

I'm happy to announce that TwinWinNerD has just bought some of my lovely stickers.
Yay!
77 NXT for 5 stickers+postage, its a bargain.

Which made me think: Is this transaction the first time someone has purchased a physical item in exchange for NXT ?
I can't believe no-one has done it before us, but I don't remember seeing anything earlier on in this thread.
I remember reading jefdiesel runs a pizza restaurant? Why wasn't this our first purchase?

We could do it via AE: jef issues Base Regular, Base Large pizza etc. tokens, and Ham, Olives, Green Peppers, etc topping tokens and Thin Crust, Extra Cheese etc option tokens. A pizza-loving nxter customizes and picks up his Compound Pizza Token through the AE, sends jef an AM, and jef delivers.

The world's first pizza sold for crypto$ through an AE!

(Worldwide delivery within 60 mins, piping hot or a 2nd pizza free Grin)

We should have a mechanism for grouping option tokens like this.

I wrote that only in half-jest. What does everyone think about such a grouping mechanism? Would it be practical? e.g. could it be used as proof of pizza purchase? With such tokens on hand, send them to someone as a /r/randomactsofpizza, or trade it for a real one for yourself whenever you like? What about for other items?

EDIT: Here's how *not* to give pizza: http://www.newsweek.com/chevron-gives-residents-near-fracking-explosion-free-pizza-229491
