Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have a confession to make. I don't own a toaster. It's not that I don't like toast, mind you. If I were to own one, it would probably be a chrome number with a decidedly retro feel. But only because the futuristic one pictured here may not be for sale. Not to mention that if it were available, I could neither justify nor afford the price.Glide, as British designer George Watson calls his toaster, just won a contest called Ceramics for Breakfast over at designboom. As he puts it the bone-china device "brings life and joy to a stagnant domestic appliance." Not only that but you don't have to worry about electrocution, since there's never a need to stick a fork inside to grab your toast.

Black and Decker came out with their Arize toaster a few years back with glass sides, that moved the toast vertically past a single heating element:

The design above it obviously a British toaster, it includes the built in toast-cooling rack! Where the other two toasters move the bread past the element, it does it all inside, keeping the toast warm. For some odd reason the British like their toast cold.
I've got a collection of toasters, so this would be a fun collectable, but not as practical as a 4-slice Dualit.
