Dear Toast,
Why do you not carry toast racks? Toast racks would make a lovely addition to your fine collection of wares; lovelier, even, than jam for putting on toast. Also, "toast rack" already has "toast" in the name, as I'm sure you have noticed, which could come in handy for you.
Who would buy these racks, you ask? Some would buy toast racks for carrying their toast about, while others would procure them for putting letters into and filing otherwise scattered bits of paper. Some people would carry both toast and letters in their racks, as eating toast while writing letters is quite a cozy past-time. Small children cast into the woods by their parents might even carry one for leaving a trail of toasty crumbs and finding their way back home. Don't you want to help children find their way home, Toast?
Of course, some poor souls may live in a village where there is no toast, and no bits of paper or woods. But that cannot be helped. Perhaps they will come up with a yet-unknown use for toast racks.
Enclosed is a picture of my new toast rack for sticking letters into, which took me months to find and win on eBay. In the very beginning, my plan was to buy one from you. I would have taken great joy in placing the order and waiting for it to come, and then recieving a Toast toast rack by post. But it was not meant to be. While I love my new toast rack, I cannot help but think you are missing a lovely opportunity.
Love and kisses,
Amanda

i don't give out hearts very often, because my macbook makes it complicated and i don't know how. but i'm on a pc. and that was wonderful. and now i want a toast rack and a letter rack. thank heavens for registries.
It's lovely! I would use it as a letter rack. I have never truly understood toast racks, because toast is so sad once it has chilled and it gets all dry and depressing. Toast must be hot (and very buttery!).
Toast tost by post post! Yay!
But what if (hypothetically speaking)you are no longer eating toast because you are on a diet developed by Stalinists? Would the toast rack be appropriate for holding more diet appropriate foods like Polly-O string cheese and slabs of bacon?
You're hilarious :D
We used to have a toast/letter rack, once upon a time. Yours is lovely.
I think it would, P. Or essays/manifestos.
I am very glad that you have found a use for toast racks. They are profligate here. Too bad they are used for actual toast, not yummy.
So cute :) Do catalogs stay upright in that toast rack or can you just put your bill/envelope mail?
