The Rise and Fall of Pret a Manger

Toast racks are not to cool toast, they're to stop it from going soggy.

If you stack toast, the moisture from the toast below in the stack makes most of the stack soggy. Racking it lets the steam escape. You still eat the toast warm, just not wet.

If you find yourself without a toast rack, you can lean them against each other as if you're starting to make a house of cards to keep them crisp.

Yeah and they sell bagged loaves of toast. Not warm then.

I have never seen a bagged loaf of toast for sale in any of the countries I've been to.

The closest I can think of is Biscottes / Zwieback / UK supermarket "French Toast"
