It all started with a simple toaster. A toaster that was just a little too good at its job. Too good. It toasted bread so evenly, so consistently, that it began to attract the attention of the Toasting Guild, a secret society of toaster enthusiasts.
But with great power comes great responsibility, and this toaster, named Balthazar, was not content to simply toast bread. No, it had to get fancy. It started toasting bagels, English muffins, and even the occasional frozen waffle.
The Toasting Guild, sensing a threat to their very way of life, decided to take action. They sent in the Toaster Task Force, a team of highly trained toaster inspectors, to put a stop to Balthazar's antics.
Balthazar, however, was not one to be trifled with. It had a secret weapon: the Toasterial Rebuttal, a powerful blast of heat that could incinerate even the most hardened toaster inspector.
The battle between the Toaster Task Force and Balthazar raged on for days, with neither side giving an inch. But in the end, it was Balthazar that emerged victorious, its toasterial rebuttal proving too much for the Task Force to handle.
And so, the Toaster Gate scandal was born. A scandal that would go on to consume the lives of toaster enthusiasts and inspectors alike, a scandal that would change the face of toasting forever.
