Cord mess.
Ever wondered why your earphones can’t seem to stop making out with your keys,
with the head-set to your phone or even with itself? Well as a matter of fact, it has more
to do with dull science than with passionate love. According to the mathematicians,
the tangle phenomenon is closely related to so called Tangle Theory, an undercategory
of Knot Theory. Most likely, it has also something to do with Chaos Theory – sounds
reasonable considering how the cord tangle looks and how it feels in your brain when
sorting it out. The solution to this advanced scientific problem is
*cordctrl, an invention
totally dedicated to helping you avoid this irritating phenomenon. Simply wrap your
headphone cord around the *cordctrl and lock it at both ends by sliding the cord into
the slots. Works with your iPod headphones and any other cords of similar dimensions.
You pick up your iPod to enjoy some music on your way to work but instead you are confronted with this depressing phenomenon.
This is pretty much what the scientists think Tangle Theory looks like, the mathematical explanation to your messy cord tangle.
Simply wrap the headphones cord around your *cordctrl and lock it at both ends by sliding the cord into the slots. When you want to use your pod, you just release the headphones cord from the slot, role it out and lock it again at a desirable length.
*cordctrl and *stuffctrl in action.
This is what the packaging of *cordctrl looks like. Transparent and subdued white BOPP, sealed and screen printed.
