'Selfie' Toaster Brands Facial Images Onto Bread Slices Using Custom Inserts

“You’re toast” has taken on a new meaning with a new gadget from Hammacher Schlemmer that bills itself as “the appliance that indelibly brands its owner’s image onto a slice of bread.” The $69 “Selfie Toaster” uses custom heating inserts, sporting “full facial details,” that are created from a headshot submitted to the manufacturer by the toaster owner after purchase. The inserts are said to brand light or dark likenesses of the subject onto a slice of toast. Instructions for uploading a high-res digital image are included with the toaster, and customers receive their two selfie inserts within two weeks of uploading the image, the catalog company said.
