I thought you got a toaster for coming out, not getting married.

🤦‍♂️

If you surprise everybody by marrying somebody of the same sex, does that mean you get two toasters?

That’s the trap of this game, trying to guess what everybody else would guess, when we’re spread all over the globe and cultures vary. I mean, those of us who answered “toaster” didn’t even consider saying “kitchen appliance” or something more generic.

A _toast_ to my fellow basement dweller.

I don’t think people actually give toasters as wedding gifts anymore. It’s just an old cliche that dates back to when people got married at a young age and were moving out of their family homes and setting up a household after the wedding. So you bought them basic household essentials.

Nowadays, it’s far more common for a couple getting married to have already set up their home and have all those basic essentials. So you buy them some luxury good as a gift.

I _did_ say “joint” because it seems like there’s always some pothead Doper (heh) posting about it.

Strange how perceptions differ.

I vaguely remember comedy references to banks giving out toasters when you opened an account. I have no idea where or when that happened.

The concept of a toaster for a wedding gift is an embodiment of 1950s kitsch that’s about as outdated today as “Father Knows Best”/“Leave It To Beaver”/“I Love Lucy” reruns… which is why I thought ‘21st century’ and selected ‘Keurig machine’.

In #5 you used a comma instead of a period. No biggie.

I will still score this today. Hopefully we’ll get one more player with this bump.

Thanks for playing, everyone. I’m sorry you didn’t make it in, @needscoffee . I should have posted in the alert thread earlier, I just forgot it existed! It’s been a while since I’ve run one of these. 🙃 I’ll try not to to wait so long for the next one.
