If a slice is too long for your slot, just cut it in half. That works

That's because, in the best traditions of this group, I make it myself.

Yerbut. The toaster should be designed to handle bread.

If you have to re-shape the bread in order to fit the toaster, the
designer of that toaster has really done a cr@p job.

Did you miss the point, that bread is not all the same size and shape?

What size do you make a toaster that'll handle _any_ bread you're likely
to have handy? And how the hell will you ever get, say, a crumpet out of
the bottom of it?
