After an inspiring Christmas in 2010 that conjured ideas of retail toasters with logos peace signs and pot leaves, Vermont Novelty Toaster Corp. was created.

Owen Mercon and Galen Dively, two friends, started their business of Burnt Impressions with the help of a manufacturing company in China. The company has a variety of toasters, including the Jesus, Poe, and Custom Toaster.

The toasters start as low as $30. The $75 self toaster is definitely worth the price if you want to eat a piece of bread with your face on it.

Or perhaps you wish to toast your face and lightly brush it with a thin coating of Cookie Butter, prompting you to produce the delicious snack to any would-be villains with the witty retort of, "Bite me."
