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.
Not good for visibility, but great for blending. We use them for Christmas and Halloween so that you don’t see a ton of cords about. I have to move them or weed eat around them if it rains much during those months.
Ah that makes sense. I live in Canada, our ground is white and covered with snowdrifts that time of year.
Yeah, you could put a rainbow neon cord down there, you’re not seeing any of it in -20
Well the green one is only for the garden according to the label. Don’t even think about plugging it in indoors.
You need to be able to toast your bread in the bathtub somehow, what am I supposed to do if I don’t have an outlet near my bathtub???
Garden use might mean a different plastic that resists UV light better than the orange one.
Orange is probably the bulk of the cords sold, so green is made in lower quantities and thus higher per-unit cost.
Well, green energy tends to be a bit more pricy
My guess is people who care about whether the cables blend in with their lawn are willing to pay more for them.
It’s also possible they sell fewer green ones, meaning they produce fewer and don’t get as much of a benefit from economies of scale.
You’re right. This is just evidence of a modern well-run supply chain.
Amazon does this better than anyone, and you’ll commonly find products available in different colors with each having a slightly different price. These prices change dynamically based on trends like historic and forecasted demand, current on hand quantities, and many other factors.
Edit to add: Some more advanced brick and mortar stores (see B&H Photo in NYC) use electronic price displays in the shelving to allow them to change prices more dynamically and frequently without having to incur the labor costs of restickering and retagging product.
