Warren Buffet Interview

I tuned in a little late to the Warren Buffet interview on CNBC tonight. Luckily, I live in a world equipped with DVR. The interview was somewhat less informative than I had initially hoped, not because CNBC's Becky Quick didn't conduct a compelling interview, but because I was simply too distracted by her coffee cup. And honestly, it looked like Becky Quick was distracted by it just as much (she could have kept her movements to a minimum).

Seriously. It was the most eye-catching coffee cup I've ever seen. I'll have to intensely search the Internet until I find a match on some obscure paper products website that I probably never heard of before. Initially, I thought it was a travel mug, but eventually I realized it was the most exquisite-looking disposable coffee cup I've ever seen. Sorry environmentalists. I'd drink ten cups of espresso-spiked java a day if I could find these cups, and I usually consider myself a tea person.

So now for the description. It looked like it would hold about 8 ounces, the size of a tall Starbucks. Black and gold slightly wavy-vertical striped with a black lid. The Earthy-colored green and white Starbucks design looks pitiful in comparison. Yeah, I'm really dying to know where Warren Buffet buys his disposable coffee cups. I'm sure Becky Quick didn't bring it along with her since on the plane since they traveling all the way to Asia.

I'll scan the paper products aisles for the next few weeks, but I'm thinking I'll come up empty. I've seen some neat designs before: 16-ounce cocoa-colored disposable coffee cups showcasing words like java, latte, and espresso. But I've never seen anything gold and black like this. It was almost befitting for a palace, but then I guess Warren Buffet is the closest thing America has to Royalty, with the exception of the Kennedy's, I suppose. The coffee cup almost seemed like those gray-colored plasticware meant to resemble actual silverware (sold at Sam's Club and Costco).
