			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inspired by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceq6egmc_ks">a scene from an old British TV sitcom</a>, modder/appliance frankenstein <a href="http://www.instructables.com/member/lemonie/">lemonie</a> decided to make a real vhs toaster. He succeeded and failed at the same time. Which is kind of a feat in itself.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s the VHS toaster in the background. In the foreground are a couple of sweet VHS-marked toasted bread. But where were they toasted?</p>

<p>See, lemonie did manage to mash the innards of an ordinary toaster into a VHS case, but then he found out that his design had a lot of flaws. For example, the case gets really hot, which is no surprise. Plus lemonie said that he couldn&#8217;t leave the damned thing on its own. I think it&#8217;s because his invention is quite grumpy, and unlike its parents it probably doesn&#8217;t want to be stuffed with anything, whether bread or tape.</p>

<p>The worst part about all of this is that the branded bread that you saw in the first picture was not toasted from the VHS toaster. Here&#8217;s lemonie&#8217;s confession: &#8220;I&#8217;d originally intended for the toaster to leave &#8220;VHS&#8221; on the toast. However, the top rack was too far away to be effective, and I knew that while it would work on the bottom rack the toast would stick to the VHS mask. I laid the mask on the bread and toasted it in the toaster, horizontally. Yes, I switched slices in the video, for artistic purposes.&#8221; At least he was honest enough to reveal that.</p>
