I swear I had something like this when I was little, but I can't quite remember how it worked. I am pretty sure it was used on the bread to make indentations before it was toasted
I found this while looking for it though:
Toast the Internet over breakfast
Decisive proof that the Internet really is changing our lives has arrived, with the development of a toaster that can link to the World-Wide Web and imprint the weather forecast onto your breakfast.
The toaster plugs into the Internet using a normal telephone connection and downloads the day's forecast from a specially designed website. The bread is then toasted normally until the final 20–30 seconds, when a stencil in the shape of sun, rain or cloud rolls out over the heating element. The forecast is visible as a dark pattern on the toast.
Robin Southgate, a design student at Brunel University in west London, developed the toaster in conjunction with Stan Swallow of the university's Design for Life centre. He hopes to use more flexible stencils to display text messages or adverts on toast.
