This week, Dwayne Johnson made an unexpected appearance at a Hawaii 7-Eleven. But he wasn’t there to get a quick drink; he was there to make amends for his childhood sins.
If the Rock casually walking into a 7-Eleven wasn’t strange enough, things got even stranger when the superstar presented hundreds of Snickers bars at the counter.
It turns out that the Rock didn’t buy all that candy because he loves snickers, but instead because he wanted to right his wrongdoings as a teenager when he was a local resident of the Island. The”Black Adam” actor revealed that he used to steal a Snickers bar every day when he was 14 before his gym sessions and use them as pre-workout.
His family was “broke as hell”, hence why he couldn’t muster up enough change buy the sweet treat. “I finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades”, said a relieved Rock on his Instagram.

Luckily the clerk of the store saw the funny side, despite having to count the huge pile of chocolate bars presented to him by the actor. Johnson also paid for all the food and drinks of those customers that were in the store at the time.
The gesture certainly makes up for the Rock’s bad teenage habits. “We can’t change the past and some of the dumb stuff we may have done, but every once in a while, we can add a little redeeming grace note to that situation – and maybe put a big smile on some stranger’s faces”, he said.
