The Toast Cannon: the highest popping toaster in the world

Posted by John Brownlee, June 24, 2008 12:31 PM | permalink

Advertising itself as the world's highest popping toaster, Freddie Yauner's Toast Cannon — which utilizes a high-pressure CO2 system and a mechanical ram to fire burnt bread into the stratosphere — is powerful enough to smash a piece of wheat through the hard cartilage and veiny, wrinkled sponge of your palate, then splatter against the ceiling, already covered in a tasty layer of what appears to be strawberry jam.

Freddie's going for the world toaster record today. Good luck, champ!

this reminds me of the old Anti-Meth advertisement for whatever sick and twisted reason.

Nice, nice - but where's the targeting system?

Variable-scale ammo results would be an attractive feature -
Toast = Dimpled Ceiling.
Croissant = Minor Stipling.
Bagel = Plaster and Lathing.
Something along those lines....
