Actually.......toasters were invented before someone realized they could package and sell pre-sliced bread. Blows your mind, doesn't it! *raspberry*
Imagine all those housewives slicing bread just the right thickness to fit those slots. It's crazy! Looney even!!!!!
I love toast and toast trivia...

Awesome. I owned a '579 Dominion 1109 Manual Toaster' and did a full restoration of a 'Estate Electric Toaster No. 77' (they're so cool. The doors flip open to become the door of the adjacent wall and give the toast in the door a chance to toast on the other side). I have a waffle iron I've been restoring, but I became too much of a perfectionist, and put the prroject on hold like so many others. Like my vacuum (hoover quadraflex (which I also restored)), it has a rocket/space ship era art deco look.
Cool toasters. Is the survey author an eBay junkie?

Oh, I'll take a T9 or a heatmaster, though there are other models I've had my eye on too, like ones with daisy motifs.
I'm also into old blenders, lamps, clocks, and other appliances.

Bread knives must have become unpopular when people started using them to fish toast out of toasters.

Ive got one of those old toasters where you have to turn the bread over to cook both sides. I just love it! you can have one side dark, the other side light. Gee, the possibilities are endless! (That's actually what's been keeping me busy lately.But like a bad penny, I will always turn up)HI everybody!!!!!

I don't like toast enough to buy a toaster. If I did, I wouldn't want a "classic" model, but something really new and different, x-treme looking, like a sculpture or something, and not in that chrome and black, but some kind of screamin' bright color.

Furnishing one's home with such appliances can be cheaper than new, if you find the right thrift stores.

Metal things from the 50's tend to be far more sculptural than anything metal now. The material and workmanship involved is too costly. those things will last forever. Flourescent plastic will fall to pieces in 20 years.

The single slice. I often end up eating two slices of toast because I think it's obscene to toast one slice with the other side simply burning electricity for the hell of it. I like the sleekness of this toaster too. Survey creator, please don't tell me your hobbie is collecting toasters!

My toaster has a feature where if you put toast in the "single slice" side it somehow knows and only heats up the one slot. And there are also toasters where each side has its own lever.

It ages since I had toast. If I do its as part of cheese on toast. Thus - I do not have a toaster.

It's shaped like a cube with four doors as walls which each hold a piece of toast. Only the side facing in toasts. You then flip open the door and close it, but on the adjacent side, where the other side toasts. When you flip one door over, they all do it, like a four winged angel pyramid stretching it's wings.

That sounds really cool *smile* I read about another internet-toaster a couple of months ago. If you connected this toaster to the internet it would pick up information about the weather then only toast the bread in a certain design - for example raindrops if it was going to rain. Of course, you could just look outside or check the news but it was a nice bit of gadgetry *smile*
