Honey I Left It On The Toast

Nothing gets your morning going like a cup of joe and a piece of toast slathered in your favorite spread. Of course, it can also be the time of day when things are hectic to start. Kids running around, people in and out, everyone trying to remind everyone else about the super important soccer meet after school. Next time, put it on toast.

This toaster by Sasha Tseng incorporates a little message board where one can read quick notes. The message also gets “toasted” into the toast itself so it gives new meaning to “read while you eat”.

Of course if I had it my way, I’d use it as a scathing reminder to friends suffering from hangovers. Yes, this piece of toast will help settle your stomach buy not without first reading my warnings about binge drinking.

I can’t really tell from this post or even the designers homepage, but I assume this is a concept? How would it work? Would be super sweet if this was a real product!

Love toast. But it looks like they miss the bus with this one. Maybe like toasting the bread:)

Not everyone eats toast in the morning…
Why dont you just leave a paper note just like any sane human being?

I think we both know why mandarin: we must have hi tech gadgets that cost at least 50 dollars to perform a task. Otherwise, the task isn’t worth performing.

Seriously though, I agree. This is rather pointless, as most people I know aren’t using a toaster every morning. Plus, this toaster has only one slot and that piece of toast blows. It’s just an inferior toaster with a piece of paper on it…

OK, let me know when you can actually BUY this. Until then, I have a lot “design ideas” that are a lot more interesting then writing on toast.

Come guys… read the tagline “Form beyond Function”

i’d say this fits the bill totally.

I will agree with “Givemeyourtots” though, perhaps it would be better if the msg was the ‘un-taosted’ part

lol @ ‘terrys’ comment — comedy

This thing is like a gym membership. A good idea, but something you’ll never use once you have it. Though I’d probably buy it anyways.

Pretty nice, these aren’t really produced though, are they? I can’t imagine how the writing surface on the top could reasonably be reproduced/burned/charred onto the toast inside, which is not to say it’s not doable.

Anyway, I think the pen sticking out of the center top is a bad idea, if someone knocks into it, it may break the point off or damage the toaster. I’d suggest a ‘port’ along the side similar to the slot along the side of a Palm Pilot to store the pen when not in use, and you can give me a measly 20% of the profits when these things go into production.

How about this: edible markers. Does away with the issue of how to actually get the message on there, and allows for many more possibilities than toast. Though I still think that leaving an important note on a writing surface that likely will not even exist very long seems a little unintelligent.

You could bring out short stories that come with loaves of bread. Write and eat a little bit or chapter of the story on every slice! Kids would love it.

Horizontal toasters do not work for obvious reasons, heat. This only toasts one piece at a time. Assuming you want to eat the toast it will have to be reasonably toasted prior to etching in a darker toast for the txt. will this no burn the toast?

This is mindless tat from a digital designer who has not had the foresight to see it past the concept stage. Any designer of merit will test the process before putting their pipe dreams out.

Socially it kills conversation, its tech for the sake of tech. mindless tat, a gimmick a gadget.

juxta position rubbish that we have an can live without..! Shame on you all for voting it no 2

You made my day. I actually thought I would read 158 comments without anyone actually thinking about the feasibility of this concept.

Besides, I’m a the only one that puts other stuff ON the toast? If you are going to see the message for 2 seconds - why not just say it? This is a product that if real would retail for $200-300, be used twice, and go to your closest landfill. Oh and by the way - I just solved the environment problems. It’s actually very simple - don’t buy stupid crap you don’t need.
