banksy pulp fiction bananas Getting your moneys worth at the airport lounge, fresh produce edition

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?
