"brown toast".

When ordering breakfast, such as eggs and toast. "You want white or brown toast?"

Since most toast is toasted to a brown tone, the question confuses Americans (west-coast, anyways).

It's really the question: white bread toast or whole-wheat bread toast?

I asked an American family if they wanted brown or white bread, they looked confused and said "we want BREAD"
