Two slices of burnt toast pop out of a toaster, smoking. With a 'wah-wah' an announcer stepped up behind the table the toaster sat upon. 

"Is your husband tired of you burning his toast?"

The man walks over to the other of the table where there sits an aerodynamic toaster with a woman standing behind it. 

"Try our new and improved ToastMate 2000! It's the go-to for clever housewives"

The housewife peers down to get a good look at the machine. 

"Say, this machine has some shine!" 

"You said it! Set that dial and get the taste back into your toast." 

The woman grabs two slices of white bread and lids them into their respective slots. She presses the lever down, letting the toast tick. 

"Top and bottom heating elements can handle anything from meatloaf to cherry pie to open-faced cheese sandwiches." 

Tick. 

Tick. 

Tick. 

Each tick from the toaster countdown grows in pace, it begins to sound more and more insistent. Less like a toaster and more - 

"The All New ToastMate 2000. It's ready when you're ready."

The woman's face was frozen with a smile, staring intently.

Tick. 

Tick. 

Tick. 

Tick. 

Beat. 

Ding!
