Ever thought the Microsoft Xbox Series S game console looks like a toaster? You’re not alone. And now, there’s actually a real toaster that’s designed to look like the Xbox — and it even imprints the Xbox sphere logo on the bread it toasts. Game on!
The Xbox toaster is available only at Walmart online, where it’s priced at $40. It includes a wide slot that accommodates bagels, Texas toast and more, plus a six-setting shade selector and digital LED countdown timer so you know just how long it’ll be before your toast pops up.
A defrost button allows users to toast frozen items, and the cool-touch exterior means even younger gamers are safe from burns. There’s also an anti-jam function, automatic temperature control, removable crumb tray and non-stick coated plates.
The toaster features a wide slot to accommodate everything from Texas toast to bagels to waffles.
One of the reviewers on Walmart’s site was delighted that what was once a gamer joke has turned into a real, usable appliance.
“Haha, so they actually did it,” a reviewer going by Roberto wrote on Walmart.com. “They made another meme come true…I wasn’t sure this would even toast well, but to my surprise it actually performs really well as a toaster.”
But be warned, gamers: You’re going to have to crank up the heat in order to get X to mark the spot.
“The X logo on the toast only really appears if you really toast it,” the reviewer said.
The creative minds behind Xbox seem more than willing to play with products. In November, the company held a giveaway of an Xbox console and controller themed to fit the Wonka feature film. The console that was given away was only chocolate-colored, but one of the controllers included was made of pure chocolate, while another was a real controller in burgundy, meant to match Willy Wonka’s coat from the film. Sweet!
