OK...so maybe I live in a cave.
Maybe the advancements in toaster technology have blew past me at supersonic speeds.
I was in the kitchen at work this morning grabbing myself a latte (we roll like that)...and i happen to glance at the toaster.
The thing has a specific setting for Pop Tarts!!! And it is even the Pop Tarts logo!!!!
This is the greatest thing since....well since Pop Tarts!
that's brilliant :D
whats a pop tart?
I just recently bought a toaster that not only makes toast, but also has a piece on the side that will make sausage and eggs...just put some water in the bottom, crack an egg into this little round dish, turn it on and in two minutes you have a little homemade egg mcmuffin....best thing ever! [clap]
Try some other brand of "toaster pastry" and see if it works for that too. :D
I've never actually owned a toaster. I've always been partial to toaster ovens.
Speaking of which, my toaster oven is getting sort of long in the tooth (i.e. gross), and could probably use a replacement soon.

that's amazing...however the only thing i can think of is that is going to be a pain to clean when it comes toaster cleaning time.

Nope not at all. The one that I have, the little egg tray and the other breakfast sandwich bits are removable so you can easily clean them.

i just wish they would make a toaster where my cheese and butter don't slide off the poptart.

Oh. My. God.
I am soooo there.
that is the ultimate lazy device
About 11 years ago I was in the shower when my 2 year-old came in and said, "Dad, your Pop-Tart is hot."
"That's nice," I said, and continued showering.
He came back in mere seconds later and repeated "Your Pop-Tart is hot!"
"Thanks," I said. "I'll be there in a minute."
"Dad, it's real hot. You should go now."
So, drippy and cranky, especially since I don't even eat Pop-Tarts and didn't know why mine was hot, I huffed out to the kitchen.
There sat the toaster, with flames literally shooting out of it. They were, I kid you not, feet high. They were curling up around the cabinets. There was even a menacing roaring sound much like a blowtorch.
I stood there with my mouth agape for a moment, then threw my towel over the toaster, grabbed it and threw it out in the snow. Then I waved at the neighbor who had stopped to stare at this (I still feel apologetic to that poor lady) and went back to shower off the smoke smell.
For those who wonder: yes, it was a strawberry Pop-Tart. Perhaps the special setting on that toaster is for "blowtorch."
looks like your neighbor got to see your pop tart too...

I've had a toaster with a Pop Tart setting for about 7 years now. Yeah, I bought it just because of the pop tart setting. ;D
It's junk!
Never did get my pop tarts warm enough!

Plus, a true Pop Tart aficionado will want to dial in their toaster to exactly suit their sophisticated tastes, and not rely on Big Brother's setting for the masses. :)
I bought my first box of Go Tarts this weekend. I was eating them while i was riding.
