nawwwww it won't. Unless you've got that idea in your head and are
suggestible? There is nothing in (to) burned toast that would cause you

some reason I liked my toast really, really dark.

My grandmother ate her toast that way. She was a diminutive little
French woman who always tried to be a lady. Then I found out she used
snuff when nobody was looking. lol Grandma was full of mystery.

Sometimes I think Rob's not happy with his toast unless there's smoke
wafting up from the toaster. It happens. Ick.
