Over-The-Top Power Settings

Ever crank up an appliance or any other product up to the max, while bawling "FULL POWER!", and finding out that it's not enough to do the job? Bathroom ventilator, household heating, stereo speakers, the TV, the clothes washer and dryer, the dishwasher, the stove, the car, all not fast enough, not strong enough and not delivering results?

Power settings that push products beyond specifications has been standard practice for modern jetliners (overboost engine power for escaping wind shear) and computer overclockers pushing their machines until they become unstable.

The knobs on all appliances should go up to the usual "maximum" setting, then have a red "overload" zone beyond. It would light up the afterburners on the toaster, the baseboard heater, clothes dryer or make a tall blue flame shoot out the top of the gas stove. It would set the clothes washer on "Turbo-Churn", the dishwasher to "Power-Spray Pressure-Wash", the microwave oven to "Turbo Nuke", the fridge to "Snow Job" and the air conditioner to "Arctic Blast".

The stereo volume knob would have the usual max setting, but if you crank it up beyond the max to "full blast", then an actual blast should result, shattering the roof, blowing out all the windows in your home and hurling its contents across the street.

The car would have a detent gate on the gas pedal, so if you were to push it really hard, the gate would break and unlock more power reserves, should you want your car to have bigger explosions in those cylinders.

Of course, these power settings takes a toll on your poor appliances and vehicles, causing voided warranties, power failures in some, malfunctions in others, and occasionally the smoldering crater filled with fire and wreckage, so manufacturers may (or may not) feel compelled to design and build more powerful and more robust machines to withstand the power-mongering whims of their users.

...whatever it is you turn on, always crank it up to "Full Blast"...

Cmon, hand over the bread!
