I put a Pop-tart into it, set the damn thing, and went back to surfing the web in the other room. I see this flickering light and the toaster has flames about a foot or so high coming out of the top and smoke is filling the house. I tossed a damp rag onto the toaster and put the fire out. Had to open all the windows to air things out. Needless to say, I didn't get to eat the Pop-tart.
