Why are Android popup messages called toasts? [closed]

My guess it that the lightweight notifications in Android are called Toast because they popup like toast from a toaster. Can anyone confirm this or provide a better explanation? I am teaching a course on Android development and would like to edit the wiki, so I want to be sure to get it right.

Solution 1:

Quoting wikipedia :

An ex-Microsoft employee of Google is credited with coining the term during the development of MSN Messenger, since Messenger's small notification windows slide upward into view, like toast popping out of a toaster

Solution 2:

And I always thought it was like a toast with a glass of wine, where you give a short message like "to your health" or "happy birthday" or "contact deleted".

But a toaster make more sense.
