"Hey, let's burn the bread and see how they like it," I don't think so.
I think that years ago, some guy was working in a restaurant kitchen, fixing breakfast for some customer, and some guy was working with him, not paying a lot of attention to what he was doing, set some bread down on the stove and forgot about it.
"Hey, dummy, you're burning the bread!"
"Oh, I'll throw it out and slice some more."
"Not enough time, is it bad?"
"No, it just turned color, a light brown."
"Is it hot."
"No, just warm, nice and toasty."
"Go ahead and cut it in half and put it on the plate, tell them it's just warm bread."
"That's not a good name, call it something else, how about we call it toasty?"
"No, too long, just call it TOAST."
And now, you know the rest of the story.
