It’s that time of year again, when Pies offer you all a timely assist with the oft-perilous task of purchasing Christmas presents for that football-obsessed maniac in your life.
Now, we’ve seen plenty of club-themed toasters in the past, with German teams such as Hannover, Borussia Dortmund, Hertha Berlin and St. Pauli pioneering the art form (and it *is* an art form).
However, the boffins over at the Olympique Lyonnais Sci-Tech Advancement Laboratory have gone and thrust the medium into its next era with the Club Toaster Mk. II.

Not only will it brand your breakfast with the Lyon club crest like a regular Mk.I, but the Mk.II also lets out a triumphant little cheer when the toast pops up!
Watch, and quite possibly weep…
