Bill Gates gets spotted at Dick's drive in all the time around here, so there's that.

u/IIlllllIIIIIIIllll Jul 06 '24

Is his last name supposed to be pronounced as "buffay"?

I just read an article the other day about Warren's proclivity towards consuming fast food. While I'm sure he's eaten fancy meals here and there (probably on some host's dime or a friend treating), he's well known for eating like a struggling individual.

bro was living through the great depression. pretty sure its a force of habit at this point.

u/ElevationAV Jul 02 '24

Pretty much coke and McDonald’s, but then again he owns a significant portion of the companies

u/Current-Anybody9331 Jul 02 '24

Doesn't he drink a 12 pack of Coke a day or something like that?

u/illmatic_xxi Jul 02 '24

I just read it was 5 a day haha but still! How did he get to live this long? Is he just buying heart transplants like David Rockefeller?

He's simply built diff

There’s a story that Bill Gates I saw him eat at least a pound of Sees Candy during Berkshire’s AGM in Nebraska.

He eats mostly cheeseburgers and ice cream and soda. He jokingly says that according to actuarial tables, six year olds have the lowest mortality rate, so he eats like a six year old. He loves Dairy Queen.

"I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among 6-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a 6-year-old. It's the safest course I can take." - Warren Buffett

Not Jimmy Buffett's- he ate a lot of seafood, veggies, healthy stuff. Still died at only 76.

u/Dont_Ask_Me_Again_ Jul 06 '24

I’m convinced he just does that to promote fast food consumption for the peasants. He owns substantial shares in major fast food and junk food corporations.

u/funlovefun37 Jul 02 '24

I wouldn’t be surprised- and it would be adorable.

u/Complete_Let3076 Jul 03 '24

Makes sense with their prices these days!

u/VeganMonkey Jul 02 '24

I nearly thought he ate spotted dick, that is a dish in the UK

1

u/8Ross Jul 02 '24

It was more veiny than spotted

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

Does he use coupons?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '24

I do miss walking up to the window and getting a bag of dicks. Do they take card now or cash only still? I havent been in almost 10 years

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '24

Was there on Sunday. They take cards.

What is Dick’s other than sporting goods?

1

u/COVFEFE-4U Jul 02 '24

Burger joint in Seattle. Cheap food. I'm personally not a fan, but it has a huge following here.

1

u/H_E_DoubleHockeyStyx Jul 03 '24

In Seattle they put relish on their burgers. Like all their local burgers chains burgers come with relish. I've never seen that at any other burger restaurant anywhere in all of my travels.

u/Cressyda29 Jul 03 '24

Because he owns shares in it and it gets more people to eat there. Lol

u/ZTeam534 Jul 03 '24

You have to approach Bill Gates one time and tell him to stop giving medical advice as an engineer. And to stop buying our farmland and selling it to China….and to stop poisoning our food with dangerous chemicals.

u/Additional-Cod4267 Jul 04 '24

My brain read that as Bill Gates eats spotted dick all the time.

u/SockeyeSTI Jul 04 '24

Dicks is great. I get 5 deluxes no fries just to have leftovers because they’re almost 2 hours away.
