What I love about these things is that we tend to go 'ooh look at what that clever designer did!' when the reality is that anyone who has ever used a toaster has invented the "A Bit More" Button and then stuck it on the shelf with all the other minor improvements we come up with and then never act on.
- krolley 16y agoYes, the toaster (and the designers involved) are definitely worthy of praise. I'm sure all of us have used our toasters to toast 'a bit more' which makes the feature all the more striking. It seems so obvious, but only in retrospect, and that is a hallmark of great design.
- Qz 16y agoMaybe it seems obvious in retrospect to you, but I was dealing with the same need for an A Bit More button with the toaster at my old place, so there's nothing retrospective about it for me. Now if only they can figure out a way to add the "A Bit Less" Button.
