It started with a single toaster in a small kitchen, but soon spread to every appliance in the land.
A rogue software update caused the nation's toasters to malfunction and start spewing out flames, smoke, and a faint smell of burning bread.
Everyone with a toaster in their kitchen. You. Yes, you.
Even the toaster manufacturer, Breville, is feeling the heat.
We're working on it. Seriously, we've got a team of highly trained toaster experts on it.
Stay tuned for further updates.
Breville CEO: "We're not sure what happened, but we're not going to let a little thing like a malfunctioning toaster ruin our reputation."
Government Official: "We're investigating the situation and will get to the bottom of this."
Anonymous Whistleblower: "It was a software update. Don't look at me."
