Toaster, I thought it needed repair

I don't know why, I just clicked and it worked for me. Mikek

Would love to see that however, it would appear that the "Down Under" Server can't handle the demand!

Worked for me too. But hardly worth the bother. This woman apparently was trying to make tipsy toast, but applied the alcoholic spirits to the bread before putting it in the toaster. You also get similar results if you overcook a pop-tart. Here's how you should make tipsy toast and other similar culinary delights:

Don't know what to say, I just tried it again and all I get is the page with the intro of the movie. I see the woman sitting there looking at her flaming toaster but when you decide to watch, it just sits there and spins around "Loading" and nothing is coming in..

Oh well, most likely another tactic of my ISP.

The bread isn't the only thing that was "toasted".....IMHO Lenny

Is that what happens when a 120V toaster meets 240V?

Me too. He must be using Jorge's computer. ;-)

If you had read the page you would have seen that it was part of a 28 year old US TV news story about Supermarket Tabloids.

I don't think anyone said otherwise. Mikek

Then where was he going to plug the toaster into 240 V?

I was just eluding to the fact that you could easily rig a toaster to do this. I would use some jellied alcohol spread on the elements and then with a bit of over voltage you could probably get an explosive display like the one in the video. Nothing too technical there. Lenny

Just replace the line cord:

Nobody likes waiting for toast.

Basic kitchen tools include a hammer, some pliers, and a propane blowtorch.

That's nothing - there's a woman in Rome that has a blender that blows its top off and the spew writes "Jesus Saves" on the ceiling.:-) Tom

I haven't even plugged in the taster in 25 years. It's sitting under the counter with a coffee maker I've never used.

Are you going to aruge with a machine with sharp, high speed blades?

When they heard the voices from it it's probably RFI. Toaster elements could act as rudimentary receivers if the signal was strong enough.
