For only $75, you, too, can put your face on a piece of bread and then eat it for breakfast in the morning. It only takes a week to deliver! “Yes, you don’t have to be famous or Jesus to have your face on toast,” company president Galen Dively says in the device’s [press release](http://pressreleaseheadlines.com/vermont-novelty-toaster-brings-home-magic-artisan-toast-custom-images-222783). But you do have to pretty narcissistic to buy a toaster for the sole purpose of making your face appear more places! It’s one thing to take a photo of yourself and Snapchat it to a friend in an earnest attempt at communicating something; it’s entirely another to stamp that face all over the world around you, turning your kitchen into a nightmarish temple to yourself. With the help of CNC technology, making a custom-design toaster is cheaper than ever, so you can buy a toaster that prints just about anything, according to the company. They even take Bitcoins. Duh. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2987868/you-can-finally-start-that-shrine-to-yourself-with-this-selfie-toaster/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2987868/you-can-finally-start-that-shrine-to-yourself-with-this-selfie-toaster/"},"headline":"You Can Finally Start That Shrine to Yourself With This Selfie Toaster","datePublished":"2014-07-15T18:12:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:42.088Z","description":"Eat Instagram for breakfast","url":"https://time.com/2987868/you-can-finally-start-that-shrine-to-yourself-with-this-selfie-toaster/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Food","Internet","selfies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5955eb539b757799/69869bcee8524ba581603e47/selfie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kyle Chayka","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/kyle-chayka/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5955eb539b757799/69869bcee8524ba581603e47/selfie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"selfie","caption":"","creditText":"Vermont Novelty Toaster","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2987868/you-can-finally-start-that-shrine-to-yourself-with-this-selfie-toaster/","name":"You Can Finally Start That Shrine to Yourself With This Selfie Toaster"}}]}] ```
