See’s Candies Inks Monumental Deal with Lilly to Sell Weight Loss Drugs in Stores
Never let it be said that Warren Buffett doesn’t recognize a business opportunity when he sees one. Today, Buffett owned See’s Candies announced that it has inked a transformational deal with the Eli Lilly to sell the much sought after GLP-1 weight loss drugs in their candy stores on a trial basis.
“I was getting fat eating all my favorite See’s candies,” said the 94-year-old Chairperson of Berkshire Hathaway.”
“My BMI (body mass index) was up to 32 and my doctor told me that if I wanted to outlast Charlie and see 100 years of age, I’d better lose some weight,” he added.
“I tried Charlie’s diet of donuts, peanut brittle, and Diet Coke, and I avoided exercise as best I could, but my weight just kept going up. So, I substituted English Toffee for the peanut brittle but that didn’t help. Finally, I tried adding in some Dark Scotchmallows but that made it worse. My doctor said I was going to die prematurely. Here I was, 94-years-old, and I wasn’t going to see 95,” continued Buffett.
