Consumer Tip On
What Not To Buy!
News Brief

4 slice crematorium

Ladies...if you want a kitchen appliance that's user friendly, this is not the one to choose. If you got this for mother's day, your kids probably hate you. My first experience with this 4 slice toaster was when I had to scrape the toasted slices from the ceiling in my kitchen. The manufacturer should have put some kind of device to prevent the bread from popping into orbit. If it doesn't launch the slices, it keeps them till they are virtually cremated and unfit for human consumption. The controls should be marked L for launch or C for Cremate. The settings light and dark mean absolutely nothing. If you want to make toast with this baby, forget it. I use it to dry my socks instead.

Consumer Feedback:

" If you're not careful, this toaster can send bread flying thirty feet...If NATO had this toaster, they would have been able to kill Milosevic by now..."

"The bread is so charred that even my dog refuses to look at it. Any lord knows he usually eats anything. "

Boy gets Lizard Surprise for Breakfast 
Lisbon, Portagal - Juan Fernandez, 11, had the surprise of his life when he cracked open a soft boiled egg at breakfast. Out popped a baby lizard, a species found only in the ravines of the Portuguese coastline. His mother, Maria, jumped in fright, but the little boy laughed off the incident. "I never expected to see a lizard in my house. It's a thrill even though it hid under the bacon, but I found it...it tasted better than anything my mother ever made for breakfast !". Health authorities speculate that the lizard egg, which looks almost like a chicken egg, was mixed into the lot by a prankster at a local egg and produce company. They are investigating and are asking people to check the lot numbers of the eggs  bought between April 30th and May 13th 1999. Record the lot numbers and return any suspicious eggs to the point of purchase :
