The Candy of Berkshire Hathaway

As mentioned in the previous blog post, we attended the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder meeting. There were booths and giveaways all over, but perhaps the best area was what I referred to as "Candy Alley". Riding high on the acquisition of the Wrigley's Gum company, the Berkshire boys weren't shying away from doling out loads of free Wrigley's and Mars/M&M products.

Here's the pile of candy Erin and I made off with. And mind you, we weren't trying very hard. This is just the stuff people handed us.

These M&Ms feature Berkshire owned candy company names, merger messages, and of course, there was the famous Warren Buffett face M&M. The candy wasn't actually pink, it's just a bad photo.

The most exciting treats they were handing out were these new Starburst Gummibursts. It's a liquid filled gummy candy. The flavor of the gummies are exactly like the flavor of Starbursts. It's very good for a gummy. The reason it was exciting is that these gummies are not available to the public yet. They should be available in stores before too long, but as of now, only Berkshire meeting goers have had the opportunity to try them.
