You don't show enough code for me to do more than make a guess, but  
providing

    tuest1=::toast.new('white','big')

is really a typo for

    tuest1=Toast.new('white','big')

and providing Toast#initialize along with Appliance#buy and  
Toast#toast have set up all the instance variables properly, then

    tuest2 = tuest1.dup

should do it.
