Beastly Bread Burners

The Domo Toaster Makes Your Breakfast Grin at You

— November 15, 2012 — Art & Design
Make your mornings more friendly with the hilarious Domo Toaster.

You will definitely be eating breakfast with a smile on your face when you use this fun toaster. It is shaped like the loveable Domo, a Japanese TV character who happens to be a friendly monster, with its brown exterior and giant grinning face. But it doesn't just look like him, this toaster actually creates little Domo babies by burning his face into the pieces of bread you pop inside. Don't bother covering it up with jam because toast is much more exciting when it has an adorable face on it.

Transform your average slice of bread into a fun cartoon character with the Domo Toaster.
