Brando's Chicken, Pork, Pizza and Watermelon USB Drives Are Phenomenally Delicious
Posted by Jason Chen at 6:40 AM on July 25, 2008
It's been a while since Solid Alliance charmed us with their food-shaped USB drives, but Brando's shot back with edible-looking disks of their own. At our count, there's chicken, hot wings, a slab of pork, a pizza slice, a burger, a watermelon slice, a strawberry, cookies and biscuits--all lifelike enough that your kid would accidentally put it in his mouth. Best of all, these hold 4GB worth of junk and cost only US$28. Has anyone made a bacon USB drive yet?

USB drives I'd like to see:
Spilled milk
Air
Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo
Rachel Ray (sticking out of her butt)
Ear wax
A USB drive that looks like a USB drive but isn't really one
Francisco Franco (is he still dead?)
I could go on and on, but I don't want to overstay my welcome...

@DeadWriter: people just get more desperate for alcohol than they do for meat...

@The Sword Master: I'm a vegan for the next three days (but who's counting?) and I went on Gizmodo to take my mind off my craving for meat or cookies.
So, your saying that these faux meat products are DRIVING you crazy. Because that the point, they are drives.
I'm living a vegan lifestyle and I also think they do look good. I sympathise with the craving, but I love Gizmodo for posting this.

I was thinking, Hey, I could get some of these for my buddies that "enjoy" the wings I make for them as a gift! But then, they put the lanyard/loop on the cover and not the USB drive end??? WTF!

Does anybody else find it odd that Brando labels its meat drives as such yet qualifies the "red-wine-like drive" with "like", as though I would mistake the tiny wine bottle for a bottle of wine, but not mistake the meat for ... meat.

@The Sword Master: A friend of mine went Vegan for a week in High School on a bet and has been Vegan ever since, like 8 years.
Brando, I have one question: Why?

@The Sword Master: Is it because Oprah went on a Vegan diet and now you're doing it too?

Cute, but ultimately useless. Too bulky to work with most USB hubs/ports (covers up multiple ports). Would need to buy a "free form" USB hub or use an extention cable to use with a laptop. Besides, why settle for 4GB?

I can just see it now....college student get himself one of these things, and his drunken roomate gets the munchies, and breaks a "Toof" on the chicken wing. The nerdy roomate gets the stuffing beaten out of him, and his roomate gets hungry after beating his roomate, and goes for the chicken wing again. Hey, it's Yeager night...
