In 1987, a toaster named Steve was involved in a scandal so large, so complex, that it would shake the very foundations of Toaster Society.
It started with a minor malfunction: Steve's toast ejected with such ferocity, it shattered a window.
The incident was covered up by Toaster Corp, but rumors began to spread.
It's said that on certain mornings, when the sun rose over Toaster Mountain, the wind would whisper "TOASTERGATE" in hushed tones.
