It may not be Happy (2015)uncommon to see your favourite pop star or athlete plastered on a can of soda -- but...Warren Buffett?
The billionaire CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, who claims to be a huge Cherry Coke fan, agreed to let Coca-Cola use his likeness on its bottles to celebrate the drink's recent launch in China.

And it doesn't hurt that Buffett is genuinely a Coke fan -- he drinks at least five cans a day, including regular Coke at the office and Cherry Coke at home.
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, is also Coca-Cola's largest shareholder, with 9.4 percent of its stocks, valued at $16 billion.

"It is an honour for us to be able to feature Warren on his favourite drink."
"Tastes like cough syrup."
Cherry Coke has been available in the U.S. since 1985.
Chinese netizens didn't seem to be particularly impressed with Buffett's choice of drink, however.
"This tastes like almond, not cherry. I don't really like Warren Buffett's taste," said one netizen on social media platform Weibo.

"Warren Buffett likes this? Its so hard to drink it tastes like cough syrup," one said.
Looks like its gonna take more than a "god" to convert the Chinese market.
