All those toasters....


Where in the world did Charlie Brown get all those toasters, not to mention the bread. The Browns must like bread...Yeah, I know. It's time for me to go to bed.

Like Austin in True West, he stole them. Or they could've gotten some from Linus' house. Remember, he was helping out. It was supposed to be funny, anyway.

This was something my wife pointed out last night. One of those things I never noticed before.

My theory is that his parents kept all their wedding presents.

I just want to know where they got the kind of toaster with the 2 doors on either side?


You can see them on the right side on the screen

The toaster’s that have the bred pop up you can fined any ware, but I have never seen that other kind.

Those toasters really existed. They date back i am guessing as far as the 30s mabey.
When i was a kid my father owned a shop here in New hampshire that fixed small appliances. (if you are under 30 years old you may not know that at one time you fixed appliances. not throw them awey.)
In the mid 1980s you could still get parts for those.
I am 44 y/o by the way.

by the way is there a name for that kind of toaster?

as for where they got all those toasters

i say the normal toasters belong to Charlie Brown's family
they like toast a lot and they hate waiting fore some one else to finish before they can
Make there toast.

The other toasters belong to Linus' family

His father works at a toaster factory and he gets a rely go deal on them.

I don't know if the "pull out" type indicated here existed, but the premise of a 2-sided toaster where the slices were basically clamped to a center unit is the original toaster.

My aunt still has a toaster from the '20s (not sure if it was her parents' or her grandparents') that has a central unit to which 2 (decorative) doors/bins are hinged VERTICALLY (not low horizontally as implied in Charlie). You place the slices in the bins and they then clip to the central heating unit. When the toast is toasted, you unhinge and remove it, and you have bread with decorative fleur-de-lis-like designs on it!

You mean "bread" and "find anywhere".

Eight divided by one-half equals four squared!
