Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images.In a weird series of events involving a seriously cruel early April Fools' Day prank, we found out some shocking news yesterday. Chrissy Teigen, queen of Frosted Flake French toast and all-around fast-food lover, doesn't like Trader Joe's. We're naturally having trouble processing this information, as we can't really imagine life without TJ's OR Chrissy Teigen. (Please don't ask us to choose.)
Here's what happened. Yahoo posted a story written by Spoon University about Trader Joe's closing down all of its stores, and people had some pretty strong reactions. It wasn't immediately clear that it was all a joke, seeing as it was the day before April Fools'. So of course, the internet freaked out, until Trader Joe's set the record straight — phew!
What does any of this have to do with Chrissy Teigen, you might be asking yourself? She got in on the Twitter action and dropped a major truth bomb on us — Trader Joe's is not her preferred supermarket.

We're hoping this is all part of a larger April Fools' Day joke that we aren't privy to, but since that seems unlikely, at the very least we know Teigen likes TJ's cookie butter. (Huffington Post)
