“What do you call bread with your toe jam spread all over it?”/“Toest.”

A riddle was posted on Reddit—Jokes on July 22, 2017:
 
Q: What do you call bread with your toe jam spread all over it?
A: Toest (toast).

 
“Toe jam” and “toest” have been a combination since at least 2007, before they were combined into the form of a riddle.

How many calories does toe jam have ? and its it better on toast or crackers ?
Answers     
Unless you are really consuming a LOT of it, I don’t think you really have to worry about the calories (bigger problems here than calories). You would just count the calories in whatever you choose to eat it with. I would recommend TOEst over the crackers. LoL. =)

Raisin “Toest.” With Jam.
This is my back foot. Since I am a Calico cat, I have multi-colored toes. I have one raisin toe on each foot. Do you see the raisin-y one?
