After a steady stream of juicy Jersey Mike's subs vs. exotic Tiger 88 grilled pork banh mi's for the last few years, I think it's time to break free of this current tempt-taste rut by adding a third style sandwich option to my languishing luncheon list. And not only will this require me to turn up the heat and do-it-myself, but I will also be traveling back in time to the mid 1940's with the help of a flying saucer shaped De Luxe Model Toas-Tite Pudgy Pie Sandwich Maker! That's right, what a mouthful! It's also a plump, round, toasted pie-like sammy (these days they call 'em Hot Pockets) that you cook up over a stove top or any open flame within the silver sleek, handy dandy Toas-Tite press. This seals the toast edges and locks in the flavorful ingredients while also making it drip-proof! You can also get campfire creative with pot pies, egg surprises, hot dogs with a future (!!!) and fruit filled hand pie desserts too. I soooo like the idea of a Pop Tart pillow! Hey, howz'about glamourin' up those lingerin' left-overs with the ever easy pudgy pie treatment too! Okay, just how freakin' fun is this original PPSM, anyway? Is it as wingdingin' as the insanely cute art on the box lid and instruction manual? I believe so. And the wildest thing I uncovered while researching this online is that you can actually buy reproduction versions of the PPSM, --and in 3 different styles too! CLICK HERE for more info, and start gettin' pudgy, NOW!

I don’t know what’s more delicious: the adorable box art, your pudgy-pie worthy prose, or a luscious sealed-in drip proof hot toasted sandwich straight from 1945! I might just eat all three!
Aw, that makes me nostalgic for the old Snackmaster days of yore. Or the midnights, really. It was always so fun to break that gadget out in the middle of some long teenage bacchanal. Man, nothing goes with the VHS nasties quite like a SpaghettiOs sandwich.
But this contraption's campfire potential beats that hands down. This would be perfect for making massive s'mores! That beach party on the box lid looks like a real hoot. Arming everybody with red hot waffle irons would definitely break the monotony of sand and surf.
Haha, plus I got to work in a variant of “wingdingiest” too! Friday’s car show might turn into a Pudgy Pie Sandwich shindig— 40’s style!
Dang, now I wanna a spaghetti-Os sammie, —with a side order of Joan Bennett bloopers from Dark Shadows
The Toas-Tite was featured on the youtube channel Sandwiches of History when the host made the Australian Spaghetti Jaffle, a favorite of the folks down under.
This could be my overwhelming paranoia but, like a lot of older cooking appliances (I'm looking at you, hot dog maker that just had a bunch of tines directly connected to the power cord!!!!) this looks incredibly dangerous. There's so many uber hot things to touch and so little non burning death areas.
The art is great -- it looks like the same artist throughout but they handle a couple different styles; for instance, the picnic fire vs the more cartoony kids and cooking at the stove. I love how they are centered by the open sandwich maker. That's some good ad art right there.
Third- degree burnt flesh death be damned —we’re still having a pudgy pie party, gosh darn it!
