Toast Addiction

Thursday, April 18th, 1996

Q: Dr. Toast, is there such a thing as having an addiction to toast? I can’t seem to get through my day without eating a slice of warm toast in the morning, and this really scares me, Doc. And if so, is there a support group out there that can help me?

Alarming Syndrome

Wednesday, April 3rd, 1996

Q: Dr. Toast, my toaster displays the alarming syndrome in which my toast is shot across the room, often to distances reaching up to 3 or 4 feet. If I am not present when this occurs, I have to waste my time hunting for the toast in some obscure corner of the room. This disturbs me. Is there anything that can be done?

One Slice Only

Tuesday, April 2nd, 1996

Q: Why does my toaster (and several others that I’ve encountered) have a designated slot for “One Slice Only”? Doesn’t that exclude the other slot from its share of the toasting? What right does the manufacturer have to arbitrarily choose one side to have all the single toastings while the other side only gets a slice of bread as a leftover from the “One Slice” side’s overabundance?

It just doesn’t seem fair!
