And the toaster blows up in magical sparkles.

Give me butter and give me jelly I’ll send it down into my belly.

Who needs the opinion of an appliance?!?!

Reminds me of the toaster in “Red Dwarf”.

Toasters don’t need microchips

That toaster is toast!

Not a toaster I’d be buying.

That’s not a Smart toaster, it’s a Smart Alec toaster.

The toaster was doing pretty well…until that last comment!

I’d say that’s the way we’re headed, but we’re pretty much already there.

I wouldn’t be overly fond of my appliances talking to me.

Bill Nye has a routine about dieting and talking appliances. It’s good.

I want to see the toaster for 3030 C.E.

Truth burns

Haven’t had a toaster around here for a few years.

…don’t forget the app that nags you about buying bread, how much toast you’re eating, and don’t toast too dark…that might cause cancer.

I doubt I would have to worry about a talkytoaster, as it’s probably too expensive. Besides, I’d rather not even be talked to by my appliances with a beep, much less words. I’m not that lonely.

And the toasters have a direct line to your doctor…

I bet that toaster doesn’t come with a warranty, they tend to get destroyed a lot.

You just know that’s where the Internet of Things is headed.

Probably in 2023 rather than 2030 though.

Luckily, I have a veteran, pre-AI toaster, and a spare as back-up.

No toaster is gonna tell me what I may or may not eat!
