Woman convinced that 'burnt toast theory' could actually save your life

Podcaster Karishma Fernandez has been trending on TikTok for her 'burnt toast theory'

It’s not always easy to see the silver lining in life when we're faced with challenges. But one woman has come up with an interesting way to view life's little setbacks.

Karishma Fernandez has gone viral after sharing her 'burnt toast' theory.

In a video that has amassed over 80,000 likes on TikTok, the Dubai-based podcaster explained that the theory can actually be a blessing in disguise.

Karishma explains that if your toast gets burnt in the morning whilst you're getting ready for work, it might delay your departure by a few minutes.

Pretty sure we've all been there before!

"You're upset because it's an inconvenience," she says.

But those delayed minutes could be life-saving, according to Karishma, with her adding: "But the theory says that those additional few minutes may have avoided a catastrophe that you could have met with outside on the roads or possibly has now given you the opportunity to meet someone, or to have a different experience that might change the course of your day, possibly your life, because of the delay of those five minutes."

She agreed that simply put, whatever happens is for the best.

And she's not alone in this philosophical outlook on life.

Many TikTok users agree, with some viewers comparing it to The Butterfly Effect.

"Factual, I met my wife through this theory. God’s plan," one user commented, whilst another chimed in: "Always live by 'Absolutely everything happens for a reason'."

And another user responded: "I totally agree and live by this theory."

Others took a more religious standpoint, with one adding: "It's God protecting you."

Some content creators on TikTok have started referencing the theory in their own videos, sharing personal experiences on how it has reflected in their lives.

However, some users are more sceptical and believe the theory to be more of a 'superstition' than anything else.

"It could go both ways," one TikTok viewer wrote, whilst another replied: "Unfortunately it works the other way around as well. The burnt toast delay might set you up for a catastrophe."

Even though there’s no concrete way to prove that everything works out for the best in the long run, the trending 'burnt toast' theory encourages us to see the world through a glass-half-full lens.

Though sometimes life doesn't go according to plan, minor inconveniences as simple as breakfast can lead to the greater good or keep you out of harm's way.
