He was reportedly unbothered by the unappetising dessert, as his granddaughter Alex Stein shared a photo of him on X (Twitter) with mint green lips.

"Sooo my grandpa ate half a quart of paint today thinking it was yogurt," she said.

Alex, from New York, also 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."
