Here is what's on the menu in Warren Buffett's kitchen

There's a really good chance Warren Buffet drinks more Coca-Cola than you.

The Berkshire Hathaway CEO (who happens to own $16 billion in Coke stock via his company) drinks at least five 12-ounce servings of the stuff daily.

"I have three Cokes during the day and two at night," Buffett told Patricia Sellers of Fortune, adding that while he sticks to regular Coke at the office, he treats himself to Cherry Coke at home.

Buffett's rationale for this diet — which he said also includes heaps of Utz potato sticks and chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast — is scientific.

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

I'll drink a Coke to that.
