I thought I'd start a thread, for those things you notice, that make you wonder, "what's the point of that?"
I'll start with something I noticed in a £shop.
A twin pack of travel adapters, containing one EU adapter, and one US adapter :huh:

With the range of electrical items people carry nowadays (mobile phone, laptop, tablet, digital camera, camcorder, etc.), you are very likely to need more than one adapter.
Surely it'd make more sense, to sell packs containing two of the same type of adapter?0 -

I'd struggle with just one adapter, and I'd imagine a lot of people would.0 -

I'd have bought that if I'd seen it. I regularly travel to mainland Europe (well annually at least), and am going to the US in a few months as well.0

I'd struggle with just one.
My tablet gets charged every night, and my phone at least twice, over a fortnight.
Then there's my camera batteries.0 -

You don't have to charge everything at once. I take it you don't subscribe to the travelling light philosophy?
