Don’t let the CHEEZY Toastabags package design fool you.
As seen on TV products often let us down with their empty promises.
I think we’ve all been entranced by the amazing new products presented through infomercials. They have “one pot kitchen miracles” and cookwear so versatile, you can bake it in the oven and set it on fire. The Toastabag has no glamour or 60 minute commercial touting it, so, here you are for the pitch. It is, a reusable, dishwasher safe, magical bag that allows you to make toasted cheese sandwiches by dropping them in the toaster. I got 2 bags for $5 on amazon.com. As advertised, they make 50 sandwiches per bag.
I said to myself, there is no way this will work.
I looked at those simple looking bags and thought “fire hazard” and while they could be, let’s be honest, anything can be a hazard in a toaster. Then, I started asking myself – what if these did work? I started to daydream about this – really, I did. There are more possibilities than just sandwiches – I’m talking leftover pizza you want crispy, and FRENCH FRIES. Yes, I went there. Imagine, you are in the office lunch area, and if you have a toaster there, you can have crispy french fries. Anytime it suits you. Just keep a frozen bag of fries nearby, and by george, you are no longer at the mercy of fast food restaurants, or even slurmy fries that have been microwaved. That should never happen to a fry.
Sweet Freedom!
Now – back to the sandwich. My 6 year old can prepare her own toasted cheese sandwich – and she’s motivated to do so. Toastabags give us both liberty, sweet, American liberty. She gains the confidence of being her own cook, and I get to stay on the couch with my face in my phone. Just kidding – really, its awesome – she can even make a sandwich for her daddy. At that age, being able to give a gift like that is a blessing to her.
If you are still in doubt, my local news station does a spot each week demonstrating products, Toastabags is one of them: http://wnep.com/2016/01/28/does-it-really-work-toastabags/
