A fantastic pair of four division toast racks. Jean-Paul Satre is famously misquoted as having said “Hell is other people at breakfast”. Despite this being a bastardisation of “Hell is other people” I find it to be just as profound. Make hell slighly more endurable by having individual toast racks so as to avoid all discussion “how many pieces of toast are we allowed each?” and “how many pieces of toast have you had?”
