Sure, but this was in a kitchen over the counter. No reason I can
think of to have run two separate wires to the same box. And this
house was built in the sixties, before many of the power-hungry
appliances (food processors, microwave ovens) existed.

By the way, when I said two outlets I meant two separate pieces, for a
total of four places to plug things in. It was a double-wide outlet
box.
