β | I'm surprised how many people persist in using "bad" toasters (slot loading). They're terrible at handling pretty much everything except sliced bread, & are completely impractical for more than half the things one might want "toasted". Even a sliced bagel turns out better in a half-decent "toaster oven" than in any slot-loader I've seen; & with a toaster oven you can toast the toppings too. (For instance: peanut butter is better toasted! Warm gooey cream cheese! Reheat muffins with loads of butter on top!) Try making a toasted sandwich in a slot loader; they're a nightmare. Even cleaning them is more effort than a toaster oven. Slot loaders are terrible, obsolete fire hazards, as far as I'm concerned. Yet when you say "toaster", people still visualize a slot loader. It's like if you said "pencil" & everyone visualized a stick of bare graphite. The graphite can | + | I'm surprised how many people persist in using "bad" toasters (slot loading).

The graphite can *conditionally* be used for *some* purposes related to "pencil" but the wood cased design with rubber eraser is far more practical. Same situation with toasters; why use a slot-loader when you can get a *good* toaster instead? |

: It is an American thing. It is just how they believe toasters are supposed to look like. Also try telling them slices of real bread aren't square :D [[Special:Contributions/172.69.55.104|172.69.55.104]] 09:28, 7 February 2021 (UTC) | : It is an American thing.
