As little sense as it makes, they managed to decently construct a sentence that grammatically ends in five uses of the word "toast", which made me laugh.

Omnis is correct. It's a play on the old English favourite "Dogs dogs dogs dog dog dog dogs dogs dog" (or, more recently, "Badgers badgers badgers badger badger badger badgers badgers badger").

Toast is BOTH, non-plural and plural. You can ask "Can I have some toast?" indicating you want one or multiple pieces of toast, but not "Can I have some toasts?" if you want more than one.
I was taking Omnis's post as "The sentence isn't correct, because the plural of toast is toast, and one instance of toast in the sentence ought to be "toasts" as the verb form".

I'm sure that the very next post under this one will be someone saying something to the effect of:
"I'm ADD and I don't see enough funny pictures. Make me laugh people!"
...but, to belabor the point, the sentence is grammatically correct. To require "toasts" you have to assume that the previous "toast" is the singular form of the word. But if you simply assume that is the plural form, the verb "toast" is appropriate. The plural form also makes the phrasing parallel with "toasters" - makes a lot more sense than unnecessarily assuming that the phrasing is not parallel and that the word toast is singular - thus requiring the verb "toasts".
