Are You You Ready For The Second Toasting?

When we got the Peace Toaster I thought that we were pretty cool. Then we got the Hemp Leaf Toaster and I said "Wow, how edgy." I was even surprised, although I'm not sure why, we do live in Vermont after all, when the target market turned out to be moms buying them for their kids. Fantastic right?

I was feeling especially good about it too, because the company who brought these two funky items to market were local entrepreneurs from The Kingdom.  Owen and Ian, two great guys, who make Ben & Jerry look like a pair of of corporate suits, came in to pitch the toasters to me. The whole staff loved the idea right away so we bought our first dozen. I asked the guys for 12 Peace toasters. It was back to school time and I thought that the kids would really dig them since toasters are one of the few appliances allowed in the dorm rooms.

A couple of days later the toasters arrived, delivered by hand I might add. As I was pricing them I realized they had shipped me 9 Peace Toasters and 3 Hemp Leaf Toasters. Oh no I was thinking, how am I going to pull this off. Folks can get pretty touchy about this stuff and I am in the customer service business not the political statement business. So, I decided to tuck the pot leaf downstairs in a display in the home office / school department. Well, in about two days I was on the phone to Ian to get more leaves. Ian was not at all surprised.

It turned out however, that the men from Danville had one more ace up their sleeves. You may have seen it in seven days, you may have heard about it on VPR you might have even learned about it on FOX News(on second thought probably not). Well here it is and the folks are loving it. Holy smokes Batman it's Jesus Toast.

I have only one thing to add to this.  

There are only 65 days left until Christmas!
