In a weird way, the original Nintendo console . . . the one where you had to blow on the cartridges . . . looked a LITTLE like a toaster. But no one would actually confuse it for one. Maybe it was ahead of its time.
There’s a weird rumor online claiming that Microsoft is launching an Xbox Series S . . . TOASTER. There’s an image and specs of it going around, and supposedly it will be available sometime this year for around $65. Which isn’t bad.
It has a cool Xbox-inspired design, but there’s not much innovation. There are three “modes,” six browning settings, a “self-centering function,” and a removable crumb tray. Long story short: It toasts bread.
Microsoft put out an Xbox mini-fridge a couple years ago . . . so it’s POSSIBLE this is legit. But Microsoft hasn’t commented, so a lot of people think it’s a joke, or the lead-up to an April Fools’ Day gag.
Especially because . . . well . . . why put out a mediocre novelty toaster?
