It's 2020 and we have a new social media star in our midst. Meet 6-year-old Leo Kelly who is from Fairfield County, Connecticut and the world's biggest fan of the classic non-alcoholic Shirley Temple drink. In an Instagram account appropriately called @TheShirleyTempleKing that began in August and is managed by his parents, Leo posts video reviews of Shirley Temple drinks that he orders from restaurants around the country. And while he is insanely adorable and grateful for his recent stardom, he is pretty honest with how he feels about each drink, especially when they are deficient in cherries.

This was his first post back in August after he sipped on a delicious Shirley Temple in Newport, Rhode Island. He had to wait 20 minutes for it, so he was really expecting a winner here.

He was incredibly ruthless with how he felt about this diner's mixologist.

Happy Thanksgiving! I was out shopping at @target and @dickssportinggoods on #blackfriday and stopped at @athena_2_diner for a quick lunch. They definitely need to step up their game and use @reesespecialtyfoods cherries and more grenadine! #thanksgiving #blackfriday2019 #target #fashion #cherry #drinks #review #kids #kid #instagood #diner #family #friends #food #instafood #connecticut #cteatsout #ctbites #foodie #tristate #targetstyle #target #shopping #sports

Of course, after the @shirleytempleking became a staple account to follow on Instagram, many on Twitter couldn't help but show their admiration.

“Is that…the Shirley Temple King in our restaurant?”“Alright, just keep calm. You’ve made these plenty of times before. Don’t overdo it on the grenadine because you know he’ll roast your ass” https://t.co/BGAYrIHJhY

In the midst of this dark and tragic week, the Shirley Temple King has emerged from the shadows to bring my cold, depressed heart a small glimpse of joy. And for that, I am thankful
