SOLD! Flying saucers + grilled cheese = Toas-Tite! $25





SOLD

"So what exactly is a Toas-Tite?

The contraption itself is pretty much just a metal clamshell with two handles.
The sandwich, whether you call it a Toas-Tite, a pudgy pie, a mountain pie, a flying saucer, or what have you, is a round, toasted pocket of bread filled with your favorite…filling."

This 60 yr old culinary kitsch wonder can be yours for only $25!

Why buy second-hand?

Reasons to buy/swap second hand clothing from the good people at Posh Swaps!

Highlights:

  • Vintage clothes are a great way to get a really unique and individual look as the older the piece of the clothing, the less likely you are to see someone wearing the same thing.
  • You can reduce the impact of clothing manufacture on the environment by buying clothes that will last and recycling, swapping and selling your old clothes.
