They say that when you can't beat them, you should just join them. In Microsoft's case, the tech giant isn't afraid to lean into the jokes and memes by releasing actual parody-inspired appliances based on their consoles. After the success of the Xbox Fridge, it's now selling the Xbox toaster.
Launched with minimal fanfare, the Xbox Series S toaster, born from the internet's twisted sense of humor about how, in certain angles, the more economically priced console looks like a toaster, has finally hit the storeshelves of Walmart.
Starting on January 3, interested fans with an extra $39.99 can enjoy toasting bread, English muffins, frozen waffles, and bagels, featuring settings for varying degrees of toastiness, from light to well-done, in appliance that's been criticized as much as it's been made fun of in recent years.
What sets this toaster apart from conventional models is the Xbox sphere logo it imprints onto your breakfast items. In a way, it's a steal if you're a huge fan of the brand. As a bonus, it boasts a digital LED countdown timer, adding a touch of practicality by eliminating the surprise of popping toast. This fun and functional gadget follows Microsoft's trend of materializing memes, recalling the releases of the Xbox Series X mini fridge and a Minecraft Creeper Mini Fridge.
