What about taco futures? I would prepay for tacos now, knowing that it's a stable investment that will likely have returns at least as good as inflation.

If you invest money and the money is used by the taco company to grow their business and your taco futures are transferrable and the value of a taco future can go up through the efforts of the company (their tacos becoming more delicious and therefore going up in price), then I think so.
In other words, you’re buying shares in a Taco company...
I think the example was transferable coupons for free tacos which don't expire.

They are certainly not shares. But could you turn such a token into an investment opportunity? Certainly you could.

The stunning reality is that Blockchain technology makes practically everything a security. SEC's wet dream.

It's probably why, on some level, all coupons carry the disclaimer that they have no (or nominal) cash value, and are void if tranferred.
