If you don't care enough to look it up, why would you care if I told you?

Humblest apologies . Allow me to explain. The post has no context or clarifying info. I’m guessing its a celeb and therefore him holding an nz brand of chocolate is the relevance here? A movie or tv star filming in NZ I guess? But there may be some hilarious subtext I’m missing out on. Yes I could do a reverse image search or search the name in the image, but I’m extremely allergic to the internet - which could also be why I don't know who this person is. You are correct however, I dont care either way. I guess I was more curious why it was posted, and you are quite right to react to my flippancy in that way. Feel free to disregard my previous comment, and this one also.

He's a New Zealander who drives cars really fast. And likes Whittakers, apparently.

@stellargmite @MightyCuriosity , that's the cool thing about Mastodon, most pics have an alt txt, not just for visually impaired users but to add clarity and info.

Poor dude is in the team that chews up juniors and doesn't give them a chance, but I'll be cheering hard for him all season, hope he can prove himself worthy of a top seat. Will be waving a kiwi flag for him in person in Suzuka in a couple of weeks
