Toast Perforator

Johnny sighed. Once again,his dreams of the Perfect Toast had been shattered by inadequate butter absorption. He was getting reeeaaalllyy tired of this, so he decided to fix it. He flipped through his mental Rolodex of failed ideas. Butter-cube cannon? No. Revolving butter-applying paintbrush wheel? No. Butter-toast particle accelerator? No. Butter spraypaint? Ew. Butter injector? that hadn't worked well, but the idea got him thinking...

Well into the night, Johnny worked, until finally, it was done. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant- a mechanism that drove a needle up and down very fast, like the needle of a sewing machine. This device was mounted to X and Y plotter motors that caused it to move across the toast like a Space Invader across the screen, creating many tiny wells 3/4 of the thickness of the toast deep. this depth was chosen so that butter did not just run through the toast, while still being deep enough to hold enough butter. The increased surface area of the toast, as well as the infusion-promoting wells, allowed delicious buttery flavor to infuse through the toast. The only thing left was to test the device, which Johnny did. As he bit into the warm, perfectly crisped, butter-infused toast, his eyes lit up. He had done all that he had hoped and more. He had not only achieved the Perfect Toast, he had acheived... Toastvana.
