Grandad eats half a tub of paint after ‘mistaking’ it for yogurt

A picture of a pale-green lip-stained grandad is going viral more than just because of his lip extreme pick of lip colour. According to reports, a 90-year-old grandad is said to have gulped down a half a can of paint, believing it to be a tub of yogurt. Surprisingly, he is reported to be ‘fine’ and not affected by the harmful additives. Granddaughter Alex Stein who first shared a photo of him on Twitter with mint green lips wrote, ‘Sooo my grandpa ate half a quart of paint today thinking it was yogurt,’.

Alex, from New York, told MailOnline: ‘When I say he loves yogurt, he LIVES for yogurt. ‘My mum buys at least 7 quarts of vanilla Danon yogurt a week.’ After Alex shared his grandad’s picture, it became a viral hit and netizens can’t help but fall in love with Bobby. Some netizens have also added a hilarious twist to the unappetizing dessert guessing that the flavour of yogurt grandad thought he was eating must be mint chocolate chip and pistachio. 

Within just two days, the tweet has gotten close to 50,000 likes and 17 lakh plus retweets.

Wait does he keep paint in the fridge or did he think he found a secret stash of yogurt in the garage?
