NEW DELHI, India (BHN) - An effort to create the world's largest toaster failed in India Monday, when the device mysteriously stopped working only 30 seconds into its first test.
The giant toaster was designed to brown over four million loaves of bread at a time, in an attempt to meet the demands of one of the world's most populated countries.
"Instead of having to manufacture millions of individual toasters, it seemed smarter to produce one really large one," said project head Puhlma Fingha. "We are still working out the details."
My comments: Wow, that's a shame.

India? But Indians don’t eat toast. They eat naan and chapatis.

But, Fiji Hill, maybe you underestimate the Western influence there... Maybe so, but on the other hand, their cookery has certainly made inroads here--even into my own kitchen.

Not many would have caught on to that reference, and for those who didn't, well, here goes:
"Yeah, toast!"
