The trending products in the market now are smart devices ranging from smartphones, to smartwatches, to smart televisions. There is a new smart device, however that would brighten someone's day with just a slice of bread.

Toasteroid is a toaster that is able to print figures on a piece of bread to make toast time more special. Designers of the said smart-toaster put up the device on Kickstarter for pledges so that it would be funded and thus be put in the market. The toaster can print letters to form a brief message, print a reminder, weather forecast or a doodle. It uses a companion application and can be controlled using iOS or Android devices, The Verge reported.

The device, Toasteroid can be easily operated using simple commands from the smartphone application. The project would come to the market if it reaches $150,000 worth of pledges on Kickstarter. So far, the project is backed by over 900 people and has accumulated a total of about $85,750.  If the quota of pledges is reached by September 20, 2016, Toasteroid would be funded. There is an $85 or more pledge for Toasteroid and $79 or more for Toasteroid Mini.

The difference between Toasteroid and its Mini version is that the latter can only print the selected message, doodle or forecast on one side of the toast while the regular Toasteroid can print on both sides simultaneously.

Printing on toast, however, is not a new technology. There is also a toaster that is able to print a face one the slice of bread. But it is a custom made toaster that can print the image that is sent to the manufacturing company before making the toaster. The creators of this Selfie Toaster, Burnt Impressions, also makes the Jesus Toaster that prints Jesus' face on the bread, Los Angeles Times reported.
