Have you ever wondered why your cables always get so tangled? You leave your earphones on the side in your room, come back 15 minutes later and they are in a hopeless knot which takes you 4 minutes to untangle. You straighten and untangle all the snaking cables behind you desk to no avail; the next day they are all in a big knot again.

What on earth is happening here? Well, I heard the other day that there is a group of angry pixies going around. They are causing havoc by tangling up wires and cords at their whim. The chap who told me was only 2 feet tall and had a long purple beard and fire in his eyes so I was inclined to believe him. He also told me that the pixies were targeting people who listened to 80s power ballads. They are totally fed up with them and don't want to hear them any more. They thought they would tangle the wires of these selfish individuals who were inflicting these 30 year old strained notes on the world. They thought they might scupper them in their task and save the world from the scourge of the ballad.

Thankfully there is a solution. ZenPlugs Cable Core Earphone Cable Tidy is especially designed to be ergonomic for humans but difficult to handle for pixies. They are repelled by the gentle curves and soft-feel of their surface, meaning that your cables, cords and wires remain tangle free. The Cable Core has delicate slots which hold the cable gently but firmly, without damaging them.

If you invest in a set of lovely Cable Cores you can get away with enjoying your unfortunate music for years to come. This will likely be much to the chagrin of your nearest and dearest.
