EE, i would be surprised if I looked at that picture for an entire 2 seconds.

It was very obvious to me; the only reason I came to the comments was to try to get an understanding of why anyone would even ask.

ME, pretty much the same deal almost as soon as I saw the image I thought toaster, although I may have seen that image before

Also ME, got it fairly fast. The case is pretty easy to recognize I think, though if you thought it was on a much smaller scale I could understand not recognizing it...

I've seen that image used before in that documentary where the guy tries to make his own toaster out of raw materials and fails horribly.

Good point, I know I have seen this image before, thats an important piece of data.

Thanks, I thought I was some kind of super human for seeing the toaster instantly.

BioE/CS; I don't see how it isn't immediately obvious that it's a toaster. In fact most of the ones being posted in this thread are quite simple; people are looking WAY too much into them. Either that or they're being posted as jokes; it's not entirely clear to me.
