The USB toaster comes from the Onion. They had a bunch of really good phony products with fully designed boxes. You could buy the empty boxes and then put real presents in there and give them to people. I really wanted to do this for a buddies wedding. give him a real gift but put it in a USB toaster box.
Hands down, in my opinion, the greatest invention is Air Conditioning. Think about it, in our own little small spaces, we are able to control the weather. Amazing.
