First world problem: we've chosen to let the second and third world make stuff for us because we had more important things to do, and then sell the stuff to us via Ali Baba or the 40 thieves, and there's no way to tell which is which. "Back in the day", I didn't even have the option to buy a USB-chargable hand warmer to keep my cell phone's battery from dying in the cold so I could hike in the winter and be within contact for various reasons. But my options are to buy one USB-chargable hand warmer/charger that will probably work for part of a season before it stops working, and another hand warmer/charger that will probably work for part of a season before it sets my house on fire when I try to charge it, and there's no way to tell which is which.
