There is even a $349 toaster with an LCD display on the side.  Now that is really stupid:
 

 

THIS is so over the top, when you just absolutely HAVE to have LCD screen on everything. 

 

I actually like the burning of images on the toast for a cool/fun trick for the kids. Probably a novelty that wears off quick especially if it doesn’t toast the rest of the bread that well

OK Tyler. Fair enough. But I don’t have kids, so that idea escaped me. I always though the way to get kids to eat toast is Nutella!😝

 

And sadly, the Darth Vader roaster does not toast the rest of the bread completely. Its warm and slightly crisp though. 

 

“Its warm and slightly crisp though.”

- Ironically a bit like Darth Vader when he catches fire in the lava that puts him the suit in the first place!!!

SPOILER ALERT!!!

 

Haha sorry Russell but that ship has long set sail 

Agreed. Pretty impossible to avoid spoilers these days with the amount of social media and gossip!

Also that the film in question has been out for nearly 2 decades 😂

What ever next! Fridge games console!

 

https://landing.coolermaster.com/kfconsole/

 

I think its real?

 

 


OK, I just followed this link. I cannot tell what that page is an ad for. Is it the graphics card?  This has to be an April Fools joke? But a Wikipedia page revealed this: 

The KFConsole is a Home video game console announced by KFC Gaming and Cooler Master that remains unreleased as of October 2022.[1] After its initial announcement in June 2020, it was widely believed to be a hoax, until an official reveal in December.[2][3][4]The console boasts various features, including ray tracing, up to 4K resolution, and 240Hz output.[5][6] The signature feature of the device is a proprietary "Chicken Chamber" that can store and warm chicken.[5][7] No price or release date have been given, and it is unclear if the console will ever be released

So it was a gaming console with a place to keep your KFC warm. Actually, for dire hard gamers, that is brilliant!

It needs a side compartment for energy drinks and 360 no-scopes. Don’t forget the Doritos.

Ok, so with all the addons and mods done per request above, the “prototype” for the next release of the product will be as per below. Super small, super compact, yet efficient with a low maintenance to cater for all our needs.

And if you lived in Hawaii: 

According to Business Insider, Hawaii has the highest cost of eggs in the nation by a wide margin at $9.73 per dozen.

That gadget might just be necessary at that price.

Smart toilet? I like the quote “fine-tune every option to your exact preferences”. It’s a toilet!
