Can people charge two devices at the same time?

I’m talking about two ports on the charger. I have iPhone & iPad.

My girlfriend recently bought a charger that had two USB ports so two cords can be plugged in to the same port thus only using one power outlet instead of two to charge two devices at 1ce. She found em near the register at WalMart. They probably have things like that online but I'm not sure what they're called.

If you're referring to the ones that charge from 120VAC to USB, I'd be careful with the cheiap ones by fridge. They may be so cheaply made that they have no thermal protection circuits which could lead to fire hazards. Pay extra and get a good one from the electronics section instead.
