Surprised they did not have a special bread cutter to give one the perfect half slice to toast.

I'd guess that part of the appeal was the "only 150watts" as this new fangled stuff coming into the house on wires would have been expensive.

My Gran didn't have a toaster until well into the 70s. She would turn on the electric eye of the stove, put a small wire trivet with a square mesh over it, and toast the bread one side at a time. We called it her tartan toast because of the pattern left by the trivet.

Toast parties - all the more reason for spending time away from having sex. :wow:
