We set up the toaster in a sand pit in my backyard and put two pop tarts in the slots. The toaster was set to its highest setting, and the button thingy taped down with duct tape. I set up my camera to record the events.

After about 5 minutes of waiting, smoke began to spew forth from the pop tarts:

After a solid 5 minutes of heavy (and quite noxious) smoking and worrying what the neighbours would think, the flames finally appeared. I was expecting more of an explosion, and was rather disappointed by the lackthereof. Not to fret though, the flames were quite high and we noted that pop tarts burn very clean. I sense a new fuel source here.

We let the pop tarts continue to burn for about 5 minutes. Once we noticed the toaster seemed to be on fire too, we ceased the experiment. The toaster needed to cool off before we could inspect the results...and what better way to cool off a burning electrical appliance than dousing it in water? (yes, we unplugged it...)

With the most dangerous part over and no injuries, everyone deserved a round of congratulations.

Now we got to inspect the fruits of our labour, disgusting fried pop tart remains. They were very brittle and light, so they had to be handled with care. Unfortunately, we didn't know this when we essentially slammed them out of the toaster. Closer inspection of the toaster reveals little damage. It's been sitting outside to dry for a few days, and we figure it's still usable.
