| Warren Buffett on Cherry Coke |
Billionaire Warren
Buffett helped Coca-Cola launch Cherry Coke into the China
Market by adorning a cartoon character of him onto limited addition Cherry Coke
cans and bottles.
Who better to pitch Cherry Coke in China then
the highly regarded investment genius who says that he drinks at least five
cans a day consuming regular Coke at the office and Cherry Coke at home. He claims
it is his secret to staying young.
Buffet didn’t ask to get paid to help with
the promotion well at least not directly after all Berkshire Hathaway is the
largest single shareholder in Coca-Cola with an investment worth about $17
billion.
The Oracle of Omaha’s cult like status isn’t
just limited to Americans, an estimated 3,000 Chinese
investors flocked to Berkshire Hathaway's annual
shareholders meeting last year.
That subliminal message might be if I drink one of these
everyday maybe I will be as Rich as Warren Buffet.

While making my purchase of Cherry Coke at Family Mart in
Shanghai, I asked some Chinese people if
they knew who was the person on the can a few said they didn’t know some
creative answers and asked if it was Colonel Sanders of KFC ha ha ha.
