[challenge entry] I almost bought this till I read the specs
Sorry for the lack of photoshopping, but this was too silly...
Dear Sir/Madam

I purchased the above product today, but it leaked after adding
only a small amount of water, let alone the 1.5 litres indicated,
and now no-longer makes toast at all.

Yours,

From the Reinventing The Wheel challenge. See all 162 entries (closed)

Just not the real specs - they'd copy/pasted them from the water filter on the next shelf over.

Even to a layman like me that is obviously a sign, not a toaster.

# filter
it filters out the bread from your water and then toasts it to make a tasty snack.
