Toast

In the middle of the night, you wake up… you hear a sound coming from the kitchen. It’s your toaster, it’s working… After a second, two slices pop up with a ding. What else could you do? You eat them. Toast is great, it’s delicious and all kinds of other stuff, but its main qualities are that you can eat it at any time of the day. It can be made in innumerable ways, and to make it even more adaptable there are countless toppings to help please any kind of eater with any kind of craving.
One o’clock, five o’clock, twelve o’clock, TOAST! Toast can be made and eaten at any day. No matter if you wake up at two in the morning and have a craving, you can get your toaster and two slices of bread, and in three minutes you can have two beautiful slices of deliciousness on your table. And if at some point during the day, you’re making toast, and you realize you’re late for a meeting or such, no worries, put it in a container, and you can eat it later. It can be conserved for days, and when taken out of its container, it can be reheated. Although that might change the degree of crispiness of your toast, you shouldn’t worry, there are many other ways to toast toast, and it would only take an extra minute or so.

Yes, you heard me, it only takes a few minutes to toast, and even less if you want it less crunchy or less golden, toast can be made in an infinite amount of ways: Whether you leave it longer and it turns out nice, dark and crunchy, or if you put it in for only a minute, and it becomes a light gold. A single second can make the difference. That’s why there are uncountable ways of making toast. It can be toasted to fit the taste of anyone. Even the people who don’t especially like eating bread, since there are plenty of other things you can do to toast to make it even better. How? Keep reading.

Toast is great by itself, but wouldn’t the world be lonely if you were a grilled slice of bread? Of course it would! That’s why generations of people have come up with a huge variety of products that you can use as toppings for it. From chocolate, for those of you that feel depressed or simply need the calories, to peanut butter jelly time, if you feel like spicing your life up with a mix of tastes and flavours. With all these toppings, how could your toast be bad? With all those combinations, how could there not be a single one that fits your needs?
Imagine that the secret of toast creation disappeared; imagine what would happen to the bread industry, it would fall drastically, and without all that money, the world would plunge into another economic crisis. In desperation, countries would start fighting over land and the resources that come with it. Alliances would form, war would break out, and the nukes would be launched. After that, nothing, not even a miracle, could save us. An eye for an eye leaves the world radioactive.
