Also… LOVE the Brave Little Toaster. They made a couple more but the best one is still the first one.

I introduced my son to Star Wars last year (he is six) and he loves it, especially Darth Vader.

So when I got an email that the Star Wars Shop has a Darth Vader toaster, complete with a Darth Vader mask imprint, of course I got it for him! He loves Eggo’s, has them at least 3-4 times a week for breakfast so it was really a no-brainer.

It’s on it way… should be here any day!

Miss Cellania, the new Cylons in “Battlestar Galactica” are referred to as “toasters” by the humans (because the old ones looked like…toasters? I don’t know). It’s considered a racist term by the Cyclons/Cylon sympathizers. And that’s me coming off more nerdy than I like to admit.

These are nice! There’s also the Brookstone toaster that can forecast the weather.

And the Onion sells a gift box that purports to contain a USB-powered toaster.

(I wanted to include the links but your blog comments program won’t allow it.)

I love toast! In fact, since I was a little girl, I refuse to eat a sandwich that is not on toasted bread. My poor brother (who was often my babysitter) has flashbacks whenever I’m over at his house for breakfast and ask for toast!

Also – like Claire, I’m a big fan of the toaster oven. They are incredibly cost-prohibitive in NZ, though, so I had to buy a regular toaster. :-P

BSG? Is that Battlestar Galactica? Sorry for the lack of jokes, but I’ve never seen the new series, and barely remember the old one. Is there a toaster joke in there?

What, no BSG jokes?

My Cinderella fetish led me to buy a dirt cheap Cinderella toaster at Ross as a future present for my elder daughter. Her godmother’s comments:
“Oh yeah, that’s GREAT, she’ll pick up some hot guy, and when it’s time for breakfast, he’ll catch sight of that toaster and he’ll be RUNNIN’! You’ve doomed your child to a life of singledom.”

Yeah – it toasts Cinderella’s slipper into the bread, AND it plays the Cinderella waltz when the toast pops up… yummy! I got the waffle iron too…

i don’t have a toaster, but i do have a toaster oven. and i am similarly attached to my toaster oven as other people are to their toasters. i do agree that it’s because it’s one of the first appliances children get to use. thus making it cooler than microwaves and conventional ovens.

I think I’m going to have a toasted cheese sandwich for lunch. And maybe find and hook up the old VCR and watch The Brave Little Toaster (if my mother didn’t throw it away at some point; she always HATED that movie for some reason and didn’t even let me watch the second and third sequels because she thought the concept of talking appliances was so stupid.) I love the brave little Toaster.
