What's Wrong With This Picture?

Reminds me of the time we had to convince the new Japanese management team that "BS Scam" was not a good name for the newest line of machines.

SMEG is "A singularly odoriferous and revolting substance" according to one source.

It is also the supposed 22nd century "futuristic" foul language used in "Red Dwarf".

You mean aside from the price? I thought my wife was crazy when she insisted on spending $60 for a Cuisinart four slice toaster.

I am always astounded at how many different types of simple equipment just to colour a slice of bread are to be found in our stores.
What a senseless waste of resources.
The company SMEG stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla an Italian company.
The odoriferous compound is smegma.
I must admit the very first time I saw it on a cooker I cracked up.

My mom’s toaster once trapped a mouse. Talk about odorous. We renamed it the mouse house. Got a cozy for the new one.

We own a Smeg toaster. They're expensive, but they're a genuine appliance - which is to say, something that's made to last many, many, years. Like the toasters you used to get for free for opening a bank account. But completely unlike the disposable garbage you get for $50 and less these days.

Our old faithful toaster finally gave up after around 30 years of service so we purchased a $40.00 toaster that is a challenge to use and never works the same way twice but I'll be damned if I'd spend 2,3,4 hundred to toast bread just on principle, Its a toaster, it toasts bread.

We’ve had nothing but issues with our Smeg appliances It’s a shame, because they do look nice.

P.S. If you’re looking for the ultimate toaster, get a Milantoast.
