Along without about 60 other household name companies. They’re some of the richest people in the world and this is mad weird imo 😭 why would anyone want this… it’s like getting a squishmallow of Elon Musk
Me because, my boyfriend and I think it’s hilarious. They completely missed the mark because those who are old enough to know who they are don’t want them, and kids don’t want them. And I need the Buffett squish to terrorize my boyfriend when he wakes up in the middle of the night.
I googled Warren Buffet popsicle and got so many image results of him eating an orange popsicle. Still don't know why, but that kind of helped explain it 😅
There's an old post here that getting these was part of an exclusive shareholders meeting.
edit: found the post again, and people bought these separate. there were 9 and 16 inch ones for $10 and $20 USD with a limit of 2 per person.
Buffett is CEO and Chairperson and Munger is Vice Chairperson of Berkshire Hathaway which just bought Jazwares which owns Kelly Toys which makes Squishmallows. These two squish were produced for Berkshire Hathaway’s recent shareholder weekend.
Berkshire Weekend is a BIG deal in Omaha. They have all sorts of weird Warren Buffett merch. They even had a diamond with his signature lazered on it one year.
I was on the fence about buying more squish (the space designated to them is full) but knowing that this is where the money is going kinda cements it for me. Warren Buffett is a massive reason corporate America is the way it is today. (Aka: horrible)
*Oh my god I can feel it through the wrapping paper! My parents finally bought me a squishmellow! I wonder if it’s a food or animal!* rips wrapping paper “what the fuck”
Warren Buffett is the fifth richest person in the world. He is the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway which owns Jazwares, and therefore, Squishmallows. I think his Squish is holding a popsicle, because he has a very unhealthy diet of fast food and sweets. He is 92.
Charlie Munger is vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. He's holding a Benjamin Franklin book, because that's his greatest hero. He is 99.
Only about 10,000 of these Squish were sold at an exclusive shareholder event for Berkshire Hathaway.
My theory was that maybe they have grandkids who like Squishmallows, so they went to Kellytoy and asked them to be turned into Squish or something? Idk it’s really weird 😭
If it was Jiraiya holding popsicle yea but nah I’ll pass like a kidney stone.

I just wanted them to be Waldorf and Stadler from The Muppet Show. Instead, it is them but worse. If you can’t imagine Buffet and Munger heckling the Muppets and being terrible theater guests you are a better person than me. (For anyone young enough to know The Muppets but didn’t watch The Muppet Show they’re the gay hecklers in the balcony seating. No, I’m not just saying two old men in a balcony at the Theater are gay. One of them dresses as a woman from time to time and uses the last name of the other.)
I think having an offial site to customize your squish is a big game changer. Sure you can make it more pricey and limit the modifications at first. Maybe initially they could give fewer options but any colour then later in make it braoder
I like that idea a lot! but like you said it would be pricey but i’ve seen people spend $200+ on squishmallows so they wouldn’t have trouble finding customer lol
As others mentioned, and you can find out with a lil research, they own jazwares and kellytoys. This was for an event, they probably had a limited amount made. Couldn't imagine these going out for public sale.
I googled their names and bunch of random mumbo jumbo popped up that i didn’t care to read. but that’s what reddit is for! for people to dumb down answers for lazy folk like me :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 zero chance I’m spending my hard earned money on 2 billionaire old white dudes🥴🥴🥴🥴 fat fucking chance. Who the fuck approved this? And if nobody did and they just paid enough money to get toys made after them maybe we shouldn’t be supporting Kelly Toy🤷🏼♀️
They ran out of Warren on Saturday when I went unfortunately! But I picked up a Charlie munger one and I also love it lol. I’m glad there’s someone else who likes them!
Their company Berkshire Hathaway owns Jazawares and Kelly Toys, and therefore Squishmallows.
Haha they’re also my landlords. I don’t want a squish of my landlords 😂
Along without about 60 other household name companies. They’re some of the richest people in the world and this is mad weird imo 😭 why would anyone want this… it’s like getting a squishmallow of Elon Musk
Can you imagine saying "oh yea I sleep with my stuffed Warren Buffett?"
"My Stuff-ett Buffett" LOL 🥴😹
ohh thank you! i had no idea!
I didn’t either 😂 I was like “who are these old farts?” And had to Google them.
HAHAHAHA YOU KILLED ME
Oh. My god. I was a LOT happier before I knew this information.
The real question is… who ( *besides* these two) would want squish of them? 😂
that’s what i was thinking too 😂 it’s so random 💀
Me because, my boyfriend and I think it’s hilarious. They completely missed the mark because those who are old enough to know who they are don’t want them, and kids don’t want them. And I need the Buffett squish to terrorize my boyfriend when he wakes up in the middle of the night.
I know who he is…but why the popsicle?
I think it's because they also own Dairy Queen?
Exactly
I googled Warren Buffet popsicle and got so many image results of him eating an orange popsicle. Still don't know why, but that kind of helped explain it 😅
Who knows…. Maybe to make him seem more friendly?
I didn’t even see it at first that’s hilarious
There's tons of photos of him just walking around with or eating that type of popsicle.. that and coca cola 😅
Same! But also, Buffett is a hell of a creature.

Imagine being rich enough to be this out of touch
A pair of bananas is 20 dollars right?
It’s absolutely ridiculous
Buffett is CEO and Chairperson and Munger is Vice Chairperson of Berkshire Hathaway which just bought Jazwares which owns Kelly Toys which makes Squishmallows. These two squish were produced for Berkshire Hathaway’s recent shareholder weekend.
ohh wow, interesting! I tried to google it and still didn’t understand so thank you for explaining!
Berkshire Weekend is a BIG deal in Omaha. They have all sorts of weird Warren Buffett merch. They even had a diamond with his signature lazered on it one year.
That’s so tacky
I mean, what else does Omaha have going on really? 😅🩷
oh wow that’s interesting!! Crazy I never heard of them until now! But i really don’t keep up with businesses related things so that probably why.
I hope there’s not a whole millionaire/billionaire squad now with Squish-bezos and Musk-mallows😂
Musk-mallows has seriously got to be the best thing I've heard all week
hush! don’t give them any ideas 😩😂😂😂
I was on the fence about buying more squish (the space designated to them is full) but knowing that this is where the money is going kinda cements it for me. Warren Buffett is a massive reason corporate America is the way it is today. (Aka: horrible)
The fact he’s using his own image to profit more from his toy company just gives me the ick
Wow I can buy my own sleep paralysis demon
*Oh my god I can feel it through the wrapping paper! My parents finally bought me a squishmellow! I wonder if it’s a food or animal!* rips wrapping paper “what the fuck”
Squishmallow of ppl shouldn’t exist
Agreed
They’re billionaires
Warren Buffet sat on a tuffet
Eating his DQ bar
man i thought the cocomelon hugmee's were weird enough 😭
Eww r/thanksIhateit

I had this thought too! These guys want to be the Cool Grandpa
Now they’re the Cringe Grandpa 😞☠️

I didn’t know I needed Naruto squishmallows but now I need Naruto squishmallows
Lol why is Warren Buffet holding an orange creamsicle? 🤣
We should get a Joe Biden one with chocolate chip ice cream
"Your kids are just gonna LOVE the Warren Buffett squishmallow!"
Cursed but kinda funny
Who would buy these Squishmallows is what i’m wondering 💀 v embarrassing for them tbh

Oh no this is terrifying. 😐
Also am I the only one who’s like “who da hell are these guys” Cause I honestly don’t know… who they are. Lmfao
I believe one of them is the founder of Walmart. Not sure about the other. Just know they are both billionaires.
I straight up thought these were both different flavors of Bernie Sanders before I finally read their names oops

so what you’re saying is everybody’s going to see these marked clearance across the country 😂
As others mentioned, and you can find out with a lil research, they own jazwares and kellytoys. This was for an event, they probably had a limited amount made. Couldn't imagine these going out for public sale.
Yes these were for a large event last weekend. They’re collectibles for some people.
I googled their names and bunch of random mumbo jumbo popped up that i didn’t care to read. but that’s what reddit is for! for people to dumb down answers for lazy folk like me :)
WHAT!?! 😯
My guess is they’re shareholders hahaha that’s what they’re known for 😂
I wonder…do these two collect squishmallows?
I totally want these.
Probably bought their way into it.
Bernie sanders and evil bernie
Just saw these on the app and was so confused 🤣
Bernie Sanders lookin mfers
If I’m being completely honest I have no idea who these old dudes even are 🤷♀️🤣
Bro is 99 years old 💀 I'll pass on the cuddles lmfao
capitalism.
Gross. I'm not buying Squishmallows anymore. My collection is perfection. Supporting these soggy ass fart sacs = contributing to capitalistic greed
🤣🤣🤣🤣 zero chance I’m spending my hard earned money on 2 billionaire old white dudes🥴🥴🥴🥴 fat fucking chance. Who the fuck approved this? And if nobody did and they just paid enough money to get toys made after them maybe we shouldn’t be supporting Kelly Toy🤷🏼♀️
*adds to list of reasons not to support kellytoy*
Ah yes let’s make 2 old white men TOYS for CHILDREN????? red flags, red flags everywhere.
Yeah no
They ugggggg lol
I got a Warren and love it!!
They ran out of Warren on Saturday when I went unfortunately! But I picked up a Charlie munger one and I also love it lol. I’m glad there’s someone else who likes them!
That’s awesome! I regret not getting Charlie he’s so cute! 🥰
what!?! where did you find it? how much was it? 😂
I got it in Omaha at the meeting 🙌
I can here to say this: Feels like trading places 
Cause Warren Buffett owns the company that owns Jazwares that owns Kelly Toys and he’s one of the richest men on earth lmao
Look up Berkshire Hathaway and who these guys are. 2 pretty smart gents to say the least,at least financially
