The Weirdest Piece of Hardware I’ve Ever Seen

I was at a Radio Shack today, and discovered a package labeled “High Speed USB 2.0 Beverage Warmer!” I had to read it several times before I convinced myself that I wasn’t misreading. A hot-plate plugged into your computer is fairly weird in and of itself, but it would only need to draw power from a USB port, so why would the person drawing up the packaging insist on pointing out that it’s specifically USB 2.0, instead of 1.x?

It wasn’t until I read the small type that I discovered that it was also a USB hub. It’s still humorous, but I found it a lot funnier before I saw that.

  1. Good question. It didn’t say, so I’ll assume it’s the beverage warmer. 😉
