Life is Like a Box of Chocolates at Berkshire Hathaway Meeting!

Run Forrest Run... to the Bargain Bazaar!

Mama always said 'Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.' Well this Berkshire Hathaway meeting is kinda like that but instead of chocolates it's full of bargains! They got this big ol' 'Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains' down at the CHI Health Center in Omaha. Now I ain't no financial genius like Mr. Buffett but I know a good deal when I see one. And believe you me there are deals galore like peas and carrots.

Plushies and Profits!

You wouldn't believe it but these Squishmallow things are all the rage! They even got ones that look like Mr. Buffett and the late Mr. Munger. Folks were snatchin' 'em up faster than Jenny could change her mind about me! Apparently Berkshire owns the company that makes 'em now. Who knew squishy toys could make so much money? It's like shrimp you can barbecue it boil it broil it bake it saute it... and now apparently invest in it!

Chocolate and Camping? Oh My!

See's Candies now that's a brand I can get behind. They had all sorts of goodies includin' these toasted marshmallow chocolates. Made me think of campin' and lookin' at the stars. I even saw Mr. Buffett's face on a chocolate coin! I reckon he's kinda like a chocolate coin himself – valuable and sweet in his own way. “Stupid is as stupid does.” I guess that makes me smart about chocolate.

Ice Cream Dreams and Running Schemes

Dairy Queen was there too bless their hearts. Sellin' Dilly Bars for a dollar and Buster Bars for two. Perfect for when you gotta cool down after all that shoppin'. And Brooks Running had these fancy shoes with the Berkshire Hathaway logo on 'em. They even had a 5K run. I coulda run that but I didn't wanna show off *too* much. You know “Run Forrest run!”

Fancy Flights and High Flying Prices

Now NetJets had a real fancy setup. They even let folks peek inside a private plane. It's like Jenny always said “You are no different than anyone else is.” Which is to say everyone deserves a chance to see inside a fancy plane! They also were sellin' company branded gear and some jewelry that was more expensive than Lt. Dan's new legs… almost.

And That's All I Have to Say About That!

Well that's about all I saw at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting. Shoppin' squishy toys chocolate runnin' and fancy airplanes. Mama was right; you never know what you're gonna get. But one thing's for sure it was a heck of a time! Just like Jenny… full of surprises.
