Note to Self: Travel to the Future for a Rollertoaster

I know that there's nothing you like more than looking at awesomely cool consumer goods you can't possibly get, so, here you go: Seven Home Gadgets You Can't Buy. Personally, I want all of them, because I'm just that way, but I think I'd settle for the Rollertoaster, which toasts and rolls bread. Just as the name implies! I wouldn't even bother eating the toast, I just want to watch it get toasted. Yes, I'm pathetic. Sue me.

See anything on that list that you like?
