Why the Name Evil Toast?
It all started at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.
We were hooked on this toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich phenomena (melty peanut butter is sooooooo delicious!) and decided to make some for our lunch. Well, the first step to this sandwich is toast, so we put our bread in one of those conveyor belt toasters and waited patiently for its dispense. Bread goes in, toast comes out—you can't explain that!
However, something happened inside the toaster that day.
What was released from inside that mechanical hell was not bread and not toast. It was something much, much worse. It was BURNT TOAST!
The smell of burning lingered in the air as our faces took on utter disappointment. We'd have to adjust the dials and try again (first world college student problems!).
Just before the burnt toast went into its garbage can grave (everyone knows burnt toast tastes AWFUL), our friend, Christine, grabbed two pieces and began furiously rubbing them together next to her ear. She looked over at us with a menacing gaze and stated:
"It sounds like Evil Toast..."
Thus, Evil Toast was born!
