In seriousness, the compression packing cubes are for clothes, not electronics or cords.

But usually for trips longer than a day or two, the only cords I'm taking are chargers and for that I use the Anker Nano in a small carrying pouch. Everything is USB-C anyway so it's all interchangeable.

Why not just eat before you leave and if it's a long trip bring such food as you think you might want? This seems excessive, but whatever works for you I guess.

I usually wear jeans on the plane. I'm going to want a pair of jeans on almost any trip I'm taking and it's easier to wear them than to try to fit them in a small bag since most jeans don't pack down very well.
Oh geez, I forgot about the elastic sorter things. I haven't tinkered with that since my audiophile stage.

For the food thing, because sometimes you're always traveling or the food sucked or wasn't enough or not available and you needed a top up.

You eat at 8AM, hop on a 6 hour flight and land. Flight inexplicably doesn't offer food or runs out. Also it's 3 hour time zone difference and it's 7PM there and the restaurant closed at 6PM. You wait an hour for luggage, spend another hour getting to and getting into the rental car, 20-30 minutes to your location, 20-30 minutes to check in, 20-30 minutes to unload and then... you have time to research where to go out to eat, then wait 5-30 minutes to order and get food.

Or I bring a sleeve of cookies and eat a few in between somewhere up there rather than go 8-10 hours between meals. That's the logic.

I once was on a flight and we got delayed on the runway for like 2.5 hours. No drink service, no food. Another 3-4 hour flight to go. I had food.

I also wrote one of those ill fated exams where the delay was 2-3 hours to start the exam and you weren't allowed out of the room. My friends and I huddle around those sleeves like Gollum eating fish. It would have been a life line for those taking stupid exams where the delay was like 5-8 hours long.
