Why is a toaster cord so short?
Short electrical cords are less likely to get tangled, to get tripped over, to get stepped on which can cause fraying, or to otherwise be messy and troublesome. Of course, if you don't happen to have a conveniently located electrical outlet, your short cord won't be that convenient after all. But you can always use an extension cord or power bar if you need to.
