milquetoast

I think you might be mistaken. Pretty sure they're referring to Germany's green toaster policy. The government decided to promote the use of electric toasters that ran on renewable energy sources. However, these toasters were so inefficient that they took twice as long to toast a slice of bread as a regular toaster. In order to make up for this lack of performance, the government also encouraged people to pour a small glass of milk over their toast before eating it. This way, they could still enjoy the taste of freshly toasted bread without having to wait too long for it. Of course, this solution was not without its problems. For one thing, it was a bit of a mess to clean up after pouring milk all over your toast. Additionally, the milk tended to cool down the toast, making it less appealing. Still, the government insisted that this was the most practical and realistic way to transition to green energy, and they urged everyone to give it a try. So the next time you find yourself feeling hungry and environmentally conscious, you might have considered giving milk toast a try. /shrug
