That’s the look of a woman who’s going to take that thing with her to the bath.
I’m sure I would have too in her position, if it weren’t for the very easily accessible and socially acceptable amphetamines and barbiturates.

The Cure For The Common Toaster
Any Mad Men fans in the house?
Should have gotten her a Chip ‘n’ Dip.
That toaster probably still works to. My Sunbeam is 44 years old, used daily, and still works great.
I have inherited a US$4 / 3.6€ toaster from a previous housemate. I told myself I’ll replace it when it dies, but it’s been nearly 12 years. That Sunbeam is much prettier than my plastic sweatshop junk and I’m a little jealous of it.
I think I’m so used to planned obsolescence in tech that I greatly underestimated how hard it is to fuck up building a toaster. Mine doesn’t toast evenly, sure. But how perfectly even do I really need my toast to be?
I make toast in a skillet because I don’t have a toaster but it works ok because then I can use the good butter so my jam and toast is much tastier and probably way less healthy, weirdly enough I think it’s more even on a skillet and a bit more crisp one side soft on the other like I like.
Can you imagine how much of a PITA toast was before these bad boys came along?
That’s a classic sunbeam toaster then it’s 100% worth it
