'''The Toaster''' is a device on Earth renowned for its ability to make the popular breakfast food served with butter, jelly, eggs, or other confection. Toasters come in two, four, or even six-slot models.

The laudable term is also used as the nickname that the Colonials have for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], due to the fact that the original models resembled "walking chrome toasters" because of their highly reflective metal bodies and toaster slot-shaped visual sensor {{TRS|Miniseries}}. [[Cylon-Related_Hallucinations#Baltar.27s_Internal_Six|Number Six]] and {{callsign|Helo}} have both expressed that they consider "Toaster" to be an offensive racial epithet ("[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]," "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]").

The reference implies that toasting bread and other foods is just as enjoyable on the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]] as on Earth.

Ironically enough, it is the use of a toaster to make breakfast that draws the Cylon "toasters" attention to Helo's fallout shelter ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]).

It can also be said that the Colonials enjoy the act of shopping for toasters. [[Lee Adama]] enthusiastically makes a point about shopping for toasters on ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'', after the electricity (an important element for any toaster) goes haywire {{TRS|Valley of Darkness}}.

It should also be noted that a few [https://web.archive.org/web/20131006210618/http://www.hammacher.com/publish/72500.asp elite model] toasters have been known to communicate by sending or receiving "waves." 

[[w:Talkie Toaster#Talkie Toaster|Other models]], usually produced by the Taiwanese company Crapola Inc, are well known for their [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOrLUHbZiWk infamous greetings], and unhealthy toast obsessions, that are all but guaranteed to drive their owners 'spare'. This condition often leads to an act of 'first degree toastercide', usually involving a 14lb lump hammer.

Toasters were originally developed by the finest [http://www.tf2.com/ Engineers] of the twelve colonies due to their collective [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avU5onrWfYo love of toast].  Many fine men and women died aboard [[Galactica_(TRS)|this ship]] because somebody wanted a better toaster to make life easier.
