Streetband - Toast (1978) vs Bodum toaster (2010)

I'll bet that when Streetband sang the song Toast on Top of the Pops in 1978 (yes, that's soon to be famous and eventually to be ex-famous soul singer Paul Young on vocals), they would have thought that 32 years later people would be eating futuristic food like green gloop and entire meal-in-a-pill. All of this done in space, or at least on board a jetpack.

But no, we're all still eating toast. Toasters have moved on a lot since 78 though. Think back to what you had then, a little metal walled job that got mad hot on the outside, and more often than not carbonized the kids' breakfast while they fought over whose turn it was on the Atari Space Invaders.

Toasters in 2010 are better machines, and also often use a design aesthetic rather than sit forlornly in the corner of the kitchen. This Bodum toaster is a good example of a fine modern toaster:

The Breakfast Rush

6 Bun Toaster

Coming from a big family myself and then having an even bigger one I’ve always got a bit irritated with having to wait in the morning for breakfast if you’re in a rush going to work and everyone’s leaving at the same time.

So as it goes I decided to take matters into my own hands and find a bigger and better toaster because the two slot toaster just isn’t helping matters. I decided to start surfing around the web and spotted a six bun toaster is available for for just under £200. That should do the job, and keep everyone happy in the morning!

I know some might see this as a bit pricey but if spending lesser money means not getting something of the same quality. It just seems to me as if the Dualit range is second to none as I already have a Coffee Machine of the same brand and is proved an excellent investment.
