\n(I wish I took a picture of it when it was still there. *sniff*)<\/p>\n
I went down to the office cafeteria for breakfast, eager to make myself some toast, when I noticed that the familiar Toastmaster 3000 was gone! In its place was a regular two-slotted bread toaster.<\/p>\n
The Toastmaster 3000<\/i> (yes I’m making the name up) was a wonder of technology and innovation. It had two dials; one for speed, the other for heat, measured in British Thermal Units<\/i> (BTU). Ooo wow golly gee! It’s sophisticated because it doesn’t measure in Fahrenheit or Celsius! Someone out there knew<\/b> what these knobs meant, and fiddled with them, but I… I was just happy to place the bread on the loading tray, that would load it onto a slow conveyor belt which would heat it using hot lamps and hot metal filaments underneath. It would then land on a tray underneath. Voila! Toasted bread, not much of a wait!<\/p>\n
If it wasn’t toasted enough, I could load it in again!<\/p>\n
\n(I wish I took a picture of it when it was still there. *sniff*)<\/p>\n
Now, all that was left was a regular toaster, with just a dial knob for time. It was set at its maximum, 5 minutes. I didn’t know what time to set it to, so I placed two bread slices and waited for five minutes. Oh wait, I pressed down the loading mechanism to activate it, too. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
By probably the fourth minute, steam was coming out! It was like boiling water! Whoever was using it before me was probably trying to match the color of his\/her toast with the color of his\/her coffee.<\/p>\n
The cafeteria dude understood, so he threw it away and let me try again.<\/p>\n
I set it to two minutes. Just nice. One minute (the minimum) was alright, too.<\/p>\n
I wonder though, who set it to five minutes before this. What would he\/she do with it? It would make the perfect prank for people who don’t fiddle with knobs. Hmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
