Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me,” offers this tweet from the airport:
Another day, another Red Carpet Club, another shocking number of bananas stuffed into my bag.
Next time, perhaps some Tupperware for the celery sticks?
Personally, I’ve always taken a shine to the mini-Toblerones…
The booty at domestic lounges is pretty sparse. How about you? What’s the best thing you’ve grabbed on your way out of a lounge?
Update: And the comeback by United:
Put the bananas down and step away from the Red Carpet Club. We have been on to you for weeks. Does NPR not feed you?

I’m happy to leave with a boarding pass and a smile. I’ll be sure to bring a box of Ziploc’s in the future.

My last flight from Thailand to Sydney found me taking at least one copy of all the major magazines (Time, Newsweek etc.), so I had allot to catch up on. Plus i made sure to take a few drinks with me…
