This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In Canada, they charge 50-100% for black extension cords

In Europe red are usuallly the cheap PVC ones while black has higher quality insulation and last much longer, well worth the price difference.

Well the green one is only for the garden according to the label. Don’t even think about plugging it in indoors.

I guess they have their use, but I dislike green extension cords. my daughter has a few of them, and she tends to leave them laying in the grass when I go over to mow her yard.

She now has a few shorter ones.
