just when i thought my kitchen couldn’t possibly use another product made of “space age polymer” i saw this nifty little gem in a commercial on food network. it’s called toast-a-meal and it tops the current running list of stupid infomercial products, at least in my book.
here’s what the bag purports to do: create a crispy delicious meal from your toaster, toaster oven without all the ‘mess’ of making things like grilled cheese or chicken nuggets (which upon viewing the website is spelled wrong)

honestly i know what nougat is and if it was chicken flavored i would puke.
i would have thought that perhaps i was having a flashback to my days of psychadelics but i wasn’t. some idiot created this thing and is pitching it to unsuspecting buyers. they are selling 4 of these goddamn bags for $20 plus s&h. they are also throwing in a toaster too, that’s how desperate they are to sell these things.
i implore the reading public: are we still fooled by verbiage like “space-age polymer”? how awful will this really be that they are giving a toaster too? i beg you, don’t buy this crap. don’t buy any crap that’s available for purchase via a 1-800 number. but if you really are curious check it out here.
hahahahaha, I saw this thing on tv last nght and immediately called my friend to tell him about it. Are these people serious?? they showed the “disaster” that can happen in a toaster oven without these bags…. (who makes that huge of a mess trying to reheat a sandwich or chicken finers??) and the panini’s were priceless, how bout instead of trying to make a panini in a bag in a toaster, you take the FEW minutes it takes out of your day to make one in a pan, the way you’re actually supposed to make them. I just feel bad for anyone who purchases this product, i really do.
Hi There
I am the idiot who invented the toast-a-meal bags.
We sell more than 2 million bags a year in the UK,and have done so for the past 5 years, so we are very serious. You might call that Crap. but for many people in the UK its the best thing since sliced bread!
guy,
good on ya for moving 10 million units and moreover finding a ton of suckers to buy it. also, excellent use of the sales pitch involving ‘greatest thing since sliced bread’, very creative. i am not here to start a flame war or anything but i still don’t get it, but i guess p.t. barnum said it best, “there’s a sucker born every minute”.
-the rabbit.
