Bengaluru is almost always making headlines. Be it for traffic jams, landlords and their bizarre demands, cab or bike drivers that have been part of the corporate world or tech-savvy street-side vendors, the city is known for it all.

Now, a picture of another street vendor with creative marketing skills has surfaced online. The peanut seller from Bengaluru was deeply inspired by American business magnate Warren Buffet and his stall was proof.

The now-viral post was shared on X by a user @vishnubogi. The picture featured a peanut vendor at his stall that was adorned with two posters. A famous quote by Buffet was seen on the first poster and the other detailed the nutritional benefits of peanuts that included protein, unsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin B and E, minerals and phytochemicals.

“Rule 1: Never lose a customer. Rule 2: Never forget rule No. 1,” the quote read.

“My @peakbengalurumoment. Product features – Benefits. Perfect FAB-ing!” the caption of the post read.

Needless to say, the post garnered a lot of attention from social media users.

Meanwhile, in August, a woman named Shweta Kukreja took to X to share an interesting encounter. She discovered that her cab driver was an engineerand used to work at Qualcomm. He chose to drive cabs because it paid better than his corporate job.

“I was in a cab yesterday and that driver was an engineer. He said he earns more from the cab driving than his corporate job at Qualcomm,” she wrote.
