Imagine waking up to find the face of Jesus, Elvis or even Barack Obama stamped in a holy effigy on your morning toast. Thanks to designer Sung Bae Chang’s Scan Toaster, all this is possible ‘mdash; and more. After connecting to your PC via USB port, the grilling gadget can download everything from cartoon strips to newspaper headlines, and burn them right onto the bread. A finalist in appliance manufacturer Electrolux’s design competition, the Scan Toaster utilizes a system of toasting modules powered by a hot wire to make the magic. Burn, baby, burn ‘mdash; breakfast will never be the same.
