A 92-year-old Irish grandpa has taken the internet by storm with his unique way of enjoying chocolates, leaving netizens both amused and impressed. In a viral video circulating on Instagram, the elderly man, with his very little (grey) hair, demonstrated what he calls the “only acceptable way” to eat chocolates. Instead of simply popping the desert directly into his mouth, he added it to his drink.
The clip opened with showing the grandpa unwrapping a chocolate and relishing it. It showed him bringing the sweet snack close to his nose for a deep, appreciative sniff. Then, instead of eating it right away, he dropped the chocolate into a glass of whiskey.
We heard you saying, "Wow", just like netizens loved his way to combing chocolate with a sip of alcohol.

In the video, the whiskey lover was seen giving the glass a gentle shake after adding the choco ball inside. He let the flavours infuse before taking a slow, deliberate sip. Again, he first breathed the aroma of the chocolate-kissed drink, followed by enjoying his drink with great delight.
The Instagram reel recorded his reaction to the drink. He raised his hands in the air to create a "Aha..waah" gesture with his eyes closed.
