The story of The Sad Toaster Pics

Someone posted a photo of a slightly dented toaster that looked heartbroken, with a caption about bread being sold out. Within a week there were hundreds. The toaster missed the bus. The toaster got socks for its birthday. Kids printed their favorites for lockers, and the toaster became the internet's saddest mascot.

Fun fact

A rare happy toaster photo surfaced once, and the forum was so shocked that nobody posted anything for an hour.
