Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is stirring up a frenzy online, and it's for the most hilarious reason.

The whiskey company is holding a competition that offers its winners a lifetime supply of cinnamon-flavored liquor, but the catch is that only senior citizens over 90 years old can enter. The ‘Epic Senior Citizen Discount’ will be running through till the end of the month, and you can also nominate someone you want, so long as they meet the age limit.

As expected, the internet did as it does and is now poking fun at the news, seeing as that the catch is of the most unique kind. And in that spirit, we've rounded up all of the funniest memes, jokes, and comments we could find to leave you chuckling. Have fun!
