Just like there is someone for everyone, there is a toast setting for everyone.

I'll bet there's at least one crazy person out there who will eat it that way.

Growing up we called this setting on the toaster the "board bread" setting. LOL!!

The opposite extreme was the "warm bread" setting. (because it really wasn't even toast).

I suppose the designers of toasters felt that near the end of the toaster's life it might get a bit tired and have to be turned up - so they made them able to be turned up a bit more than normal... Would work better in a brown-out as well... :-)

because the toasters are made in china and they have different voltage current levels than we do in the US and UK - what crisply toasts in china just burns in countries with a more advanced power grid

I don't know but, why do we not refer to un-toasted bread as "raw toast".
