Okay, not I'm really struggling. Trying to come up with a new idea every week really does test the grey matter! I've been flat out with ACS and really haven't come up with a good idea so here goes.
I was at a party on the weekend and we were discussing an idea for a new kind of toaster. This friend of mine always complained that he hated that butter was always to hard for his toast. It comes from the fridge so it's harder then it should be. Now I realise there is soft spread butter, but who ever let reality ruin a perfectly over-engineered idea.
So we have one of those conveyer belt toasters and right at the end it adds the butter (and possibly jam) to the toast for you. This would be achieved by heating some butter from the heat of the toaster whilst the bread is toasting and then either spraying it on though a nozzle or some how spreading it right onto the bread. The jam would act in a similar matter.
Of the ideas I've presented so far this is one that I would actually buy. I'm lazy and I know it, so if I could save a few minutes every morning with my toast then I'd be happy. And why not? Isn't that the point of technology - to save me a few minutes every day. In those few minutes I could be thinking about better ideas (maybe for realmtech!) or working out problems with what I'm doing at work.
Okay, hopefully I'll have a better idea next week!

And with any luck, it would actually toast the bread properly. Not undertoasted; not overtoasted (or burnt). Every time.
