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.
