Gentlemen, gather around! Looking good today, but what’s this? Another toaster? No, just bread this time. Welcome to the latest episode of 'Mystery Tech,' where today, we dive into some bread and explore the enigmatic world of toasting devices. Over the years, 'Mystery Tech' has brought you some truly extraordinary toasting apparatus, but today, we’re taking it up a notch with a surprise inside this box.
Now, if we set aside the usual categories like laptops, cell phones, and consoles, toasters undoubtedly reign supreme in 'Mystery Tech.' And that's no exaggeration.
As we unbox this, shipped simply in a plastic bag, the mystery deepens. Is there a reason for this minimal packaging? We press on, revealing a toaster that promises to burn my face into the toast. Yes, finally, a toaster as white as me! The toast already has my face on it, pre-toasted.
"This has been around for a while," I note as we examine the bread. The toaster offers a range from one to seven for browning levels, so we decide to go with a safe
ipad 2.5. But it doesn’t seem to work properly – it doesn't go down all the way, and the smell? It’s reminiscent of an old ship, with hints of limey sea air and
ipad 2 rust. Not exactly appetizing.
"Arr, matey!" I joke, adopting a pirate voice, to which Ken responds, "What are you, a pirate now?"
We finally toast a piece of bread, and it emerges with varying degrees of my face on it – from a light version to a darker, more defined rendition. The back is completely scorched, while the front just about captures my face. Joanna asks if I’m having a stroke with all the toast talk, and I confirm that the excessive toast-making might be getting to me.
How much does this peculiar toaster cost? A basic toaster at Walmart might set you back $15, but this one? $150. It’s a steep price for a gag gift that’s more creepy than functional. Not worth it, if you ask me.
Next up, we delve into Dry Studio’s offering – the Black Diamond 75, the world’s first leaf spring gaming keyboard. Dry Studio’s website, dry---studio.com, hints at exclusivity and luxury. The keyboard, inspired by the Lamborghini Aventador Mansory Carbonado (known as the black diamond), features a lot of carbon fiber, clear acrylic, and leaf springs for added typing comfort.
This keyboard is a chunky piece of tech, weighing in heavily with its carbon fiber sides and a USB-C port. It’s a beauty, but does it perform as well as it looks? The typing experience is unique, thanks to the leaf springs. The spacebar feels a bit too light, causing some double taps, but overall, it’s a decent experience.
At $300 retail, we snagged it for $280, which isn’t outrageous in the world of custom keyboards. You can get a simpler version for $240, but this one’s all about aesthetics. Though it looks like a $20 keyboard, its performance and unique design might justify the price for some.
Switching gears, we uncover the Bone Fone, a relic from 1979. This peculiar gadget, wrapped in newspaper, exudes vintage vibes. Initially mistaken for packaging, the Bone Fone is actually a bone conduction radio. Bone conduction technology, common in modern headphones, was ahead of its time in this device.
Worn around the neck, it transmits sound through bone conduction, a novel
experience back in the day. It sounds surprisingly good, albeit scratchy, given its age. At $45, it’s a steal for a piece of audio history.

Back to 'Mystery Tech.' I’ve got a surprise of my own – the Palm Pixi Plus. This nostalgic piece of tech runs on webOS, a revolutionary operating system from Palm. Despite its age, this brand new, in-box device brings back memories of the early days of smartphones. Its wireless charging dock, the Touchstone, is a neat feature even by today’s standards.
However, the activation servers are long gone, making it more of a collector’s item than a functional phone. As we attempt to power it up, it asks for a SIM card, but with no service, we rely on Wi-Fi to explore its features. It’s a trip down memory lane, highlighting how advanced webOS was for its time.
The Palm Pixi Plus, purchased from eBay, is a rare find, adding to the nostalgia of 'Mystery Tech.' It's a reminder of how far technology has come and the innovative ideas that paved the way for modern devices.
As we wrap up the episode, let’s not forget about the magnesium cube. At $200, this lightweight cousin of the tungsten cube is a fascinating piece of tech. It’s significantly lighter and cheaper, yet just as captivating. Though it’s more of a novelty item, its unique properties make it a worthy addition to any tech collection.
In conclusion, 'Mystery Tech' never fails to surprise. From a face-toasting toaster to a bone conduction radio, and from a luxury gaming keyboard to a nostalgic Palm Pixi Plus, each item brings its own charm and quirks. While some might be worth the investment, others serve as entertaining reminders of tech’s ever-evolving landscape.
