At first I thought this was some auto-generated spam blog, but this is the real deal – RedToasterGuide.com is the blog of someone who just really, really loves red toasters:

“To start with, there has been a lot of hype about red toasters in recent times. However, it’s not just red toasters, but also, red juicers, red kettles, red blenders and several other appliances. The world, it seems, is going red! I’ve been receiving a lot of red related appliance questions, so I wasn’t surprised at the toaster question. Well, I have to agree that the color, red, signifies a certain vitality that stands out in any place or on any object it’s used. So, to those who are also wondering whether a red toaster is a good choice, yes, it is. It will certainly add to the aesthetics of your home.” – [RedToasterGuide.com]

The Toast Messenger by Sasha Tseng is only a design concept (sadly), but how awesome would it be to write a message on the surface of the box, then have that message magically toasted onto the bread inside? This could be the next Twitter! (thanks, chip!)
