the most aspirational of all toasters

One of these days
I plan to invent a toaster with 56 buttons. Have not yet thought of what they'll all do, but I'd just love a toaster with lots of controls.

Would you like a cheese and ham Breville?

I had to get rid of my Breville.
Or else I would have been the size of a house and severely lacking in vitamins other than those you find in cheese and bread.

Funnily enough, the make of my new toaster is Breville
I tried to find a link to it on the Breville homepage, won't actually let me navigate anywhere, so here's a link to it's Amazon page.

Perhaps
one of the buttons could be the "Insert a dramatic pause in the toast-marketing mode".

What the effing buggery does a toaster need with six buttons.
It's design gone mad.

It's a dual-control toaster.
(almost like those dual control cars that driving instructors have).

so it's a training toaster?

Not quite
More like a 'competition toaster'.

Although one use for a multi-control toaster is to teach kids people with too much impatience who are overly fond of pressing buttons the virtues of patience. You could build a multi-slot toaster with multiple eject-buttons and get all of the impatient button-pushers to hover a finger over their buttons. If just one person presses the button before the toasting-cycle is complete, everyone's toast will be undercooked, and the button-pusher will be scorned by the rest of the group for doing this.
