1. Awesome. Welcome to the Toast Club.

Feel the toast

2. I reckon it's on account of they

were sold in Australia. May not have been marketed here in the State.

3. That top ad was made here, though--what an oddity!!

Such a clunky looking thing!

4. Why did they produce a coffee maker that looked like a toaster?

Was it to match your real toaster? I'll bet it didn't sell well because at some point someone who wasn't quite awake yet decided to make coffee and poured water into their real toaster...

5. That would have been a sight.

6. Every bride wants this:

7. That was an expensive toaster.

$22 was a lot of money in those days. It probably lasted just about forever, though. My grandma had a toaster from the '20s that looked sort of like this:



It lived at Grandma's summer cottage. You'd toast one side of the bread at a time and then flip it around to do the other side. There was no mechanism to tell you when it was finished toasting so you had to pay attention. We burned a lot of toast with it. Point is, though, we were still using that thing by the '80s.

8. My mother bought one of those at Goodwill for $.50.

That was in the 50's. And the plug would get super hot as I remember, we were lucky it didn't cause a fire.

9. My grandmother's friend had one of those!

They were very useful for toasting unusually sized slices of homemade bread!

[Paper Roses]

11. Good grief, I remember my grandparents using one of these.

Had to watch the thing like a hawk or you would burn the toast. Usually everything was fine but once in a while...charcoal. Heavy black fabric coated plug you inserted into the side. Can you imagine how hazardous this thing was?

12. An elderly neighbor of ours had one of them -

I think she used it on a gas stove burner. It fascinated me. (We had the boring pop-up electric kind.)

10. It's National Toast Day!

HEYWOOD BANKS
Toast Lyrics

All around the country and coast to coast
People always say what do you like most?
I don't wanna brag I don't wanna boast
I always tell 'em I like toast

Yeah toast!
Yeah toast!

I get up in the morning 'bout six A. M.
Have a little jelly have a little jam
Take a piece of bread put it in the slot
Push down the lever and the wires get hot
I get toast

Yeah toast!
Yeah toast!

Now there's no secret to toasting perfection
There's a dial on the side then you make your selection
Push to the dark or the light and then
If it pops too soon press down again
Make toast

Yeah toast!
Yeah toast!

When the first caveman drove in from the dregs
Didn't know what would go with the bacon and the eggs
Must've been a genius got it in his head
Plug the toaster in the wall buy a bag of bread make toast

Yeah toast!
Uh toast?

Oui monsieur bonjour croquette
Uh huh croissant et vous et ver
Maurice Chevalier Eiffel Tower
Oui Marie baguette bonsoir

French toast!
French toast!

In Chicago or on the Bob And Tom Show

Yeah toast!

Good on ya'

Toast

14. How about one of these?
