I totally want this product! I want the morning news printed on my toast in the morning.

Can toast porn be far away?

Flat Toaster

The Fagor Flat Toaster must have seemed like a good idea at the time, but really who wants an open BBQ style electric grill in their kitchen.  This really seems like a device designed to burn people.  What it really reminds me of are those old space heaters that used to burn down peoples houses only turned on its side. 

I’m all for new and exciting ways to make toast, but I’m just not sure that I’m ready for this one.

Inflatable Toast Mattress

Oh bless your heart Archie McPhee!  This is one of my favorite local establishments.  If you’re not familiar they carry all sorts of bizarre and wacky things.

I just spotted this fantastic new item called the Inflatable Toast Mattress

Breakfast in bed? No, breakfast IS the bed! Sleeping on this giant 6′ by 7′ Inflatable Toast Mattress is likely to make you dream that you are a pad of butter and that you are floating down a river of freshly brewed coffee. In reality, you should not use the Inflatable Toast Mattress as a flotation device nor should you expose it to excessive heat.

All this delicious toastiness can be yours for a mere $169.95!  Now I can finally make that dream about being a big glob of jelly on the toast come true!
