Toasters

Not to date myself, but permit me to date myself.

In the mid 60s, big brother Buzz found a deal on Fostoria toasters.  They were like $2.99 each. We snapped up a couple.

In the intervening years, my humble household has gone through like a thousand high-end toasters.  They each die within a year, whether they need to or not.

Our current model, some sort of fancy Kitchen Aid or some such, just died. Big surprise.

The Fostoria? Still going strong.
