The Tale of Kaol and the Supersonic Toast
A follow up to this story.

Ron was making toast one fine morning.
I wandered into the kitchen, just as it popped up, hot and golden brown.
Feeling a little mischievious, I casually said to Ron
"Do you know what that noise is?"

He thought about it for a moment, then replied:
"Of course I do, it's the spring in the toaster."

"A common mistake. It's actually the mechanism popping the toast up so quickly that it breaks the speed of sound. If it didn't do that, it'd be far too hot to touch."

He looked surprised, and went quiet for a moment, taking this information in.
He nodded, buttered his toast and said "Makes sense", as I walked away.

I'd forgotten all about it, until a mutual friend told me an amazing fact about toast in the pub one day...

I'm trying to think of an amazing toast fact
but I can't, sorry.

It's just slightly burned bread.

Well,
It moves faster than the speed of sound...

Yeah, I know
I was just posting a reply for the sake of it, as you were concerned about the lack of response!

I do have strong opinions about bread and toast though. For example, I rarely eat white bread, because I don't particularly like it. I prefer the brown/wholemeal/with-bits-in stuff. But if I'm applying a sweet topping, such as jam, to my bread, it's better if the bread's white.

Also, white bread is as good as brown when toasted. But all toast should only have savoury toppings. Jam on toast is wrong in my book.

^how true
nothing better than toast with tuna, or even toast and grated cheese.

my sister eats white "toast" (hasn't moved faster than sound, cause it's just warm fucking bread), with chocolate spread. BLERGH

Granary bread FTW!
Although I will stick any old shit on my toast. Not literally, you understand.
