“The method of toasting bread at Ah Wang’s cafe is by electric toaster. The bread is evenly browned on both sides, and crunchy. The toast is traditionally served with kaya or a combination of kaya and butter for a sweet-savoury taste. The kaya has always been homemade from only three ingredients — coconut milk, sugar and eggs. It is custardy in texture with a balanced, sweet flavour. Best of all, no preservatives are used and it is also for sale.” —

“You’d think that after more than 80 years on the market, toasters would finally serve up perfect toast.” —

I think this perspective on toasters implies that perfect toast can be achieved through automation. Do we entrust our children with robots? Do cars drive safely by themselves?
Making perfect toast is a critical activity for humanity and it takes an attentive eye to do it right.

Wendy's settles toaster lawsuit with franchisee
“Mom told me their toaster broke, not a big deal except that it was a wedding gift and it decided to stop working on their anniversary. No biggy, except my parents just celebrated their 58th anniversary and the toaster was 58 years old. That’s a lot of toast.” —
Let’s say conservatively that the toaster was used a mere 2 times per week (2 slices per toasting).
4 slices per week * 52 weeks per year * 58 years = 12,064 slices of toast
but I think it could easily be 3 times that number … I guess that is a lot of toast.
