A few years ago I finally discovered that modern toasters have a removable tray to catch and remove crumbs.
Crumbs! I felt silly.

IANJOHN01: I too was late to toaster lore. Having picked up the effing thing, and shaken it, I was surprised when the crumb remover dropped onto the floor. Reminds me of a wonderful message I once saw on the lid of a tin of paint. “”If all else fails, read the instructions””.

I once read of a survey asking people what pet name they had for their computer.. I think most answers were Frame 1. Or worse..
