You know how sometimes your toast doesn’t quite pop out of the toaster fully? And because your judgment is a little impaired that early in the morning, you decide to jam a fork in there to dig it out only to be electrocuted and rushed to the hospital? Sure, we have all been there. However, Freddie Yauner, the dude behind “The Moaster,” will not have to worry about that anytime soon because he has set the record for the “highest popping in toaster the world” according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Using the power generated by a high-pressure CO2 gas system and mechanical ram, Yauner managed to get his toast to pop up about seven feet into the air-which was enough to set the record. However, that figure was restricted by the height of his ceiling, so he will try and re-set the record tomorrow with an attempt conducted outdoors (although I doubt that it will reach heights like those portrayed in the image above). Why build a toaster that pops that high, you ask? According to Yauner, “Everyone loves it when a toaster has a good pop to it, so I thought this was the logical next step, to create a new space in the market.” Indeed, you haven’t had a good piece of toast until it has picked up a bit of grime from the floor and the ceiling.
