It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.


I classify this as a repair.

    My friend just bought a toaster that plays a tune when it’s done.

    A toaster. That needs to tell you when it’s done.

      My toaster just triggers the toast catapult when he’s done with his thing. Noise notifies me, toasted bread flies around, what’s not to like?

      My rice cooker plays twinkle twinkle little star and I always dance to it when it’s done.

        The difference is the rice cooker doesnt have metal parts launching upwards creating a very loud distinct sound that already indicates in the room that the toast is done.

        With that said there were some really cool old toasters from like the 1950’s that had self toasting where you put the slices in and it automatically drops down and then rises quietly back up when its done. If that one had a small song I could at least understand that.

      as if the house rattling launch of the toast wasnt enough to tell you, your neighbors, and the russian seismograph monitors on the other side of the world that the toast was ready.

      Wouldn’t help the people in the office that go toss a bagel in the toaster then never come back for their burnt charcoal that got stuck because it was too plump to pop up

      but think: what if you could tell the toaster what tune to play?

      and what if the toaster played La Llorona instead anyways, in different styles every morning, because The Toaster has better taste in music than you
