A larger than life nonagenarian became a viral sensation on Friday after his granddaughter shared that he had accidentally mistaken a quart of paint for yogurt.
Alex Stein shared the photo of her grandfather, 90-year-old Bobby, with mint green lips.
She also included a photo of the half-empty paint can.
‘Sooo my grandpa ate half a quart of paint today thinking it was yogurt,’ she said in the Friday post that has garnered more than 333,000 likes on Twitter.
The New York resident would later post a screengrab showing a video chat between her and Bobby, where she said that ‘his stomach’s completely unfazed.’
‘When I say he loves yogurt, he LIVES for yogurt,’ Stein explained to the DailyMail.com. ‘My mom buys at least 7 quarts of vanilla Danon yogurt a week.’
Stein’s comment section under the post was inundated with various flavors people assumed the vibrant man thought he was eating.
Mint chocolate chip and pistachio – or painstachio as it was referred to repeatedly on Twitter – were the two flavors that were the most commonly mentioned.
