The discovery that left many shocked was shared to TikTok by Australian cleaner Kacie, who is better known for her large following as The Big Clean Co on the popular video platform.
According to Kacie, the hidden compartment is supposed to catch all the leftover crumbs.

The TikToker then put her hand under the toaster and pulled out a tiny tray that was filled with crumbs.
