Of course she did.
Chrissy Teigen is everybody’s favourite model, actress, and social media influencer.
She’s also pretty good at baking having released her own cookbook, Cravings, last year – every single recipe in which looks absolutely delicious.
Last night, Chrissy wanted to make some banana bread.
Unfortunately, Chrissy did not have any bananas… or at least, she didn’t have the exact kind of bananas that she required for her bread.
For her creation, she needed six browning bananas.
And no, she didn’t want any banana browning hacks, she wanted the real thing.
So naturally, she took to Twitter.
ok this banana thing is getting ridiculous. don't tell me your banana browning hacks. just…if u have 6 BROWN bananas in the LA area lmk

Chrissy got a lot of replies for her request, but not all of them were serious.
So she took it upon herself to weed out the liars and asked that anyone who had six browning bananas in LA should take a picture with the fruit while doing the peace sign.
The model also said that, in return, she’d provide a signed cookbook, a pair of husband John Legend’s underwear, and a BECCA makeup palette.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. please send me a photo of u holding the bananas, giving the peace sign

She was not playing.
Amazingly, a woman called Meg happened to have five browning bananas in her gaf.
She tweeted Chrissy to tell her she could have them if she wanted.

Chrissy did.
And as promised, she sent her mom to go and pick up the bananas convinced that five would do the job.

Chrissy then tweeted saying that banana submissions were closed and she had gotten what she needed.
She also tweeted a picture of her mom with the bananas.

There was also a dog dressed a bellhop in the background, because why not?
yes my dog is a bellhop and no I have no reasoning

A couple of hours passed without incident until the mum-of-one realised that she needed just one more banana for her famous banana bread.

She tweeted a guy called Jake who she had been in touch with earlier that day. Jake had two bananas he was willing to sacrifice to the cause.
my mom just goes "if I go he better have 2 bananas I not going in traffic for 1" she's like a real dealer

Jake looked only delighted to be receiving a pair of John Legend’s underwear, too.

this is no longer my banana bread. this is *our* banana bread.
— chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 22, 2017
Thankfully, Chrissy then had enough bananas to continue with her banana bread.
She expressed her gratitude for the help Twitter had given her.
— chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 22, 2017
She then posted a couple of videos of the finished banana bread.
And, to be fair to her, it does look pretty unreal.

Fair play, Chrissy.
