The 90-year-old grandfather, Bobby, reportedly loves eating yogurt. His granddaughter, Alex Stein, shared with Daily Mail about how her mother would usually buy large amounts of yogurt each week, explaining why her grandfather mistakenly ate the paint. She said,

“My mum buys at least 7 quarts (6.6 litres) of vanilla Danon yogurt a week.”

“When I say he loves yogurt, he LIVES for yogurt.”

As the tweet went viral and Bobby’s fame started to rise, the 90-year-old grandfather decided to post on Instagram, sharing his thoughts about what had happened. He also shared in the post on how he doesn’t regret his decision and that it “honestly tastes better than yogurt”.

As our grandparents grow older, many of them may start to lose their sense of judgement over time. We’re glad that Bobby is alright and hopefully this will be a reminder to keep an eye out on our grandparents in order to avoid any mishap.
