Chrissy Teigen Broke Twitter With Random and Hilarious Banana Bread Contest
Sometimes, a girl just needs some banana bread. Chrissy Teigen was jonesing for some in the worst way yesterday. The problem was, she didn’t have any brown bananas. If you’ve ever made banana bread, you know that you need very ripe bananas for the batter. Yellow bananas just won’t do! So what’s a girl to do when you NEED banana bread, but don’t have brown bananas? Well, if you’re Chrissy, you send out a call on Twitter and get enough people trying to unload their rotten bananas to make bread for 3000 people.

You get some banana bread! And you get some banana bread! EVERYBODY GETS BANANA BREAD!
It all started when Chrissy found herself without the requisite number of overripe bananas. Don’t you hate when you’re about to make magic in the kitchen and you don’t have one of the key ingredients?
if u have 6 BROWN bananas in the LA area, I will send my assistant to your home with a signed cookbook, John's underwear and a Becca palette

And by assistant, she means mom.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. please send me a photo of u holding the bananas, giving the peace sign

Please don’t waste Chrissy Teigen’s time with still-ripe bananas.
As you can imagine, the replies and offers came quickly and in abundance. It’s like “What Would You Do for a Klondike Bar?” but for men’s underwear and makeup.

We’re not even joking, there were like a thousand replies of people all over LA holding brown bananas.
Chrissy found the bananas she was looking for, and true to her word, sent her assistant (mom) to make the exchange.
just for safety, my assistant asks that u taste a small piece of the banana in front of her before making the trade https://t.co/k7bvlH93rO

Not to worry, the runner-up to the brown banana contest was more than happy to play second-banana (it writes itself, folks). And Chrissy was able to make her bread! Rejoice!

We’re sure the bread was delicious, Chrissy. And if it wasn’t, you have two willing patsies to blame! Any problems with that gorgeous loaf obviously stem from the bananas. Thanks for entertaining us yet again on the Twitters, Chrissy! Let us know where we can send our address to get some bread.
