Maddeningly Unhelpful Advice-Breakfast and a Show

Are you lacking the proper amount of excitement to start your day? Do you wake up to the same boring cold cereal or toast day in and day out. Well, then you've come to the right place. I present to you, your ticket to a new experience:



Yes, it's a toaster. But it's not your average toaster. This toaster does more than just evenly brown your bread to golden deliciousness. This toaster also includes a game or a show. The game is called: "Uh, where did my toast go?" The rules are as follows: Stand with your back to the toaster getting your topping supplies ready (such as butter, jam, etc). Hear the toaster pop. Turn around to see the toaster mysteriously empty. Tilt your head in confusion. Look closer (thinking that perhaps the bread has somehow wedged itself into the deep inner workings of the toaster). Scratch your head when you don't find it. Extend your search. Find your toast a foot away from the toaster.

You are probably now saying to yourself: "Where can I find a toaster like this? I'm tired of my toaster gently raising my bread to where I can easily find it." And I don't blame you. Your toaster is definitely second rate......and weak. Why would you want normal when you can watch your toast do flips? So my advice to you is go out and get yourself this extra springy toaster or just stay at Jenn's house (like I did). And, by the way, when I told Jenn about her super exciting toaster, she said, "Really? What does your toaster do?" Exactly, what does my toaster do? Obviously a whole lot of nothing.

  1. LOL! That is too funny. I guess I'm stuck with a boring toaster. My poor children - I hope I'm not depriving them of one of life's great pleasures. :-)

  2. Maybe I would eat toast more often if it entertained me.

  3. I have a boring 2 slot toaster. But I'll take the low tech one over a complicated one any day. :)

  4. I think it would be fun to have everyone gather around with their plates and whoever can catch the toast will get to eat it. Or you can try to find the sweet spot on the counter until you know where to place your plate to catch the toast and see how many slices high you can get the stack.

  7. That's too funny. It's way too early for such laughter; my family gets suspicious.

    Sadly, my toaster does none of these exciting things. It's as dull as a ... toaster. Needs help with the lift removal, then I must rotate and turn the bread to toast the other side.

  8. All of my appliances are very dull, except sometimes my microwave hums. And my son think it is a game to see how many fingerprints he can put on my refrigerator.

  9. I loved this toaster so much I had peanut butter toast every morning we were there! It was a well-loved appliance that weekend. I must admit I was a bit confused at first when you started taking pictures of the toaster...

  12. That's right folks! Step right up. We're taking reservations to stay in our guest room so you can see the Dynamo Toaster! It toasts! It pops! It's morning entertainment at it's best! :P

    LOL Kasie, I had no idea my appliance could be so entertaining to someone else.

    I loved this post so much that I'm going to go toast something right now. Jealous? ;)

  13. You should see MY toaster! It makes hard boiled eggs while it toasts your bread!

  14. Mine tosses the toast too. My microwave is pretty cool. It has a chef that plays a little tune when the food is done.

  15. Amber's idea rocks. And I'm jealous of Lady Glam's toaster.
