Chrissy Teigen needed brown bananas for a recipe and put the request out there on Twitter. Meg Zukin (left) offered up her fruit and the model/host/firecracker sent her “assistant” — who is really her mom, Vilailuck Teigen — to pick them up. (Photo: Chrissy Teigen via Twitter)
Chrissy Teigen is known for routinely making Twitter an awesome online space — and she did so again on Thursday while using the social media platform for crowdsourcing six brown bananas to help complete a banana bread recipe. One of the tweeters who answered her call was Meg Zukin, a recent L.A. transplant who now finds herself in the unexpected spotlight that comes with helping a celebrity complete her baking mission. And yes, her life has changed.
Thanks to Meg Zukin, we now have this GIF of Chrissy smelling her fresh-from-the-oven banana bread. (GIF: Chrissy Teigen via Twitter)
“My life has changed in the sense that my phone battery dies a lot faster because whenever I’ve checked any of my social media there are dozens of notifications,” Zukin tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I’m sure this will die down within 15 minutes.”
Zukin wrote about her experience on Medium, sharing how the whole event transpired.
“I was watching South Park (season 6, episode 10) when I saw Chrissy’s plea and remembered the fruit in my kitchen going to waste,” she wrote. “Then I took the selfie heard around the world while my boyfriend ignored the multiple takes and bananas rolling around (extra browning).”
