America has discovered socket switches and the sarcastic Brits have entered the chat
Over on TikTok, and also over on the other side of the Atlantic (from our POV), popular content creator Melissa The Daily DIY has been showing off a marvellous kitchen innovation.
It’s going to save a lot of hassle.

First the wheelie bin, now a socket switch. If they see a kettle they may lose their minds.
