Dakota Johnson is back to loving limes. In her first promo for this weekend’s edition of Saturday Night Live, the Madame Web star gives viewers a tour of SNL’s home at Studio 8H. Parodying a mega-viral YouTube video where her house was staged with an abundance of limes, Johnson finds a bushel of the citrus fruit and reflects how much she loves them.

The meme originated in a video by Architectural Digest where Johnson takes viewers on a tour of her home. When she gets to her kitchen, she comes across the limes before saying the oft-repeated, “I love limes. I love them. I like to present them like this in my house.”

As it turns out, Johnson didn’t actually like limes. She said on a subsequent late-night interview that she’s actually allergic to the fruit.

“I’m mildly allergic to limes and honeydew melon,” Johnson later told Jimmy Fallon. “I actually didn’t even know they were in there. I was giving the tour and went into the kitchen and it was set dressing,” she revealed. “It was hard to just ignore them, so I just lied… I went the full opposite direction.”
