    Are you one of those people who buys produce with every intention of eating it but then you realize you're a garbage human who subsists on takeout while your healthy, good-for-you food straight-up rots in your kitchen? Good news: You could win the favor of Chrissy Teigen.

    The social queen who knows how to use words properly took to Twitter to ask for brown bananas—*six* of them—in exchange for "a signed cookbook, John's underwear and a Becca palette" hand-delivered by Teigen's assistant.

    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 paletteSeptember 21, 2017

    The responses were top-notch, as you could have guessed.
