For next time:

The product is an electrical adapter that makes any electrical outlet compatible with your device or appliance. It even includes a surge protector, and an arry of prongs found around the world. It might be best to state the obvious, as in "Plug in anywhere in the world", but let's explore further. How about something bombastic?

I'll post a solution next week!

Highly overstated legal statement, disclaimer and general tush-covering: For clients' protection, none of this is recent, and there is no current need. Please do NOT send me your own headlines! This was just one of many possible solutions. Any unsolicited submission will become my property without acknowledgement, consideration, obligation or so much as a thank-you. The work shown here is my own, and any similarity to other work, past or present, is purely coincidental. Project may have been academic or speculative. Situation may be simplified or enlarged for illustrative purposes, and/or headline modified to remove marketer's name. Nothing here implies an endorsement of my services by the marketer, agency, or anyone else. The ad headlines shown here are chosen partly for entertainment value, and are not necessarily my first-choice recommendation to client. By the way, the capital of North Dakota is Bismarck.
