A new toaster that makes dot matrix images on your toast.

Inseq Design wants you to have fun with your food. To that end, they're working on a toaster that'll put old fashioned dot matrix images on your toast. Remember the old printers, or video games? Yeah, something like that.

This is just a prototype right now, and it's not available, but would you be interested in something like this? I can't imagine it being particularly useful. I also see the entertainment value not lasting very long. However, maybe you can judge for yourself with this video of how the toaster actually works. Now that's entertainment!

"Entertainment value not lasting very long"

I, being a weird food loving, immature computer nerd, will burn up through loaves of bread like there's no tomorrow.

Bring on the dot matrix toaster!

this would be endlessly fascinating for toddlers, as long as you could program "Tubby Toast" (google it!)

I'm a little skeptical of the holiday design version though.
