A man is being arraigned today over punching an elderly man at Costco over Nutella and Eggo samples.

Nutella will make some people do crazy things.

A 78-year old man was hospitalized Sunday after a 24-year-old man reportedly punched him in the face over a Nutella sample dispute at a Costco in Burbank, Calif.

Derrick Gharabighi, scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday, is charged with felony elder abuse and personal infliction of great bodily injury against a person over 70, according to CBS Los Angeles. He could face more than 11 years in prison.

According to the Burbank police, the scene began when the elderly man told Gharabighi to only take one sample of Eggo waffle with Nutella after Gharabighi had grabbed several pieces, Burbank police officer Cindy Guillen told the Burbank Leader.

Gharabighi then allegedly punched him in the face.
