In this day and age where most people just can't seem to go without their technological devices, having a battery source at your disposal is always essential, and these quirky power sources are perfect for those who want something a little out-of-the-ordinary.
While plugs and power sources are ordinarily found in walls of homes, retailers have been creating power adapters that are shaped like all sorts of wacky and unusual shapes as a means to attract potential buyers. Charging your cellphone or tablet into an average-looking outlet is just so boring, so why not choose something that looks more fun and suiting to your personality? From chargers that humorously resemble store-bought coffee cups to those that are shaped like slices of fruit, these quirky power sources make charging up your devices much more enjoyable.
