Laughed pretty hard at that!

@nightsky: the night is darkest before the dawn....THe dawn has come!

tkohrs2002

In the dark days before the liquid filled object revolution, only the very lucky or very wealthy could afford to have such luxuries as the beer filled USB drive. Cold were the days when man had to struggle against oppression and tyranny without the comfort of their favorite alcoholic beverage protecting their precious porn pictures and myspace profiles and term papers. Verily I say to the that these dark days are finally over! Rejoice my friend, REJOICE!

nightsky

yea, Vista isn't bad enough, now I'm gonna import beer? That's exactly what I need. A plastered OS.

tharden33

Couldn't find a link for that, but I *did* find one even more useful:

I think it all depends on the kind of beer that is in the flash drive. I would consider it an insult if the beer was a well crafted beer like Delirium Tremens or Alagash White because that means that some amazing beer has gone to waste. I would take a Budweiser flash drive because Budweiser is crap and thus it doesn't matter if no one drinks it.

digidt

Link?

rcast1986

That would be great as a drink before a test, only filled with vodka, to give you that mmmm mmm good feeling in your tummy :)

Dudemeister on the Run

Nothing different from the odd drawer full of bizarre erotic novelties in someone's drawer.

The difference is the sheer tonnage of this kind of...flotsam today over when I was a kid.
You wouldn't need a drawer so much as a large dumpster to hold the commensurate amount.

strider_mt2k

What about a matching before and after set of drives? One filled with beer and the other filled with pee.

Kingteddybear

@tharden33: that's what Windows ME was!

hindsight2020

I prefer to have live goldfish inside my USB sticks.

aeroworks

Wtf. Anything less than a sixpack is just enough to piss ya off. Show me the 32GB Keg.

One little crack in that case, and goodbye laptop.

GIZMODO PRESENTS: REAL MEN OF GENIUS (Reallll men of geeeniussss)

Today we salute you, Mr. Beer in a USB Flash Drive Inventor. (Mr. Beeeeer in a USB Flash Drive Inventorrrr)

Not content with storing your porn on any old flash drive, you took an everyday computer accessory - and filled it with beer. (Barrrtender, I'll have anoootherr!)

When society told you that gadgets and alchohol don't mix, you said "like hell they don't!" (You showed themmmm, didn't youuu?)

So crack open an ice-cold Beer in a USB Flash Drive, oh king of outreageous combinations (schhhk!), because when it comes to getting drunk AND storing all your important documents, we know we can count on you.

(Mr. Beeeeer in a USB Flash Drive Inventorrrr!!)

dewback51

@Sonikku: Now all we need is a "bottle of beer" flash drive and they could work together!

Metkis

For once you finally put something up that's really interesting AND useful but with no way to follow-up for those of us who might want to order a case or two of 'em. Thx very little...

Just think about it, the USB portion ceases to function (as many USB drives do) all is not lost! Noooooo, just snap the end off that sucker and it's good to the last drop! That's far superior to any of my current USB drives. Are the empties returnable for a deposit in certain states?

RabbiHarley

LMAO @ dewback51!!!!

Otherwise, my first instinct to the article is stop whining and put a damn case of them in the fridge!!!

grok666

@dewback51: You... Rock.

smarttart62

@Goatspunk:

Yes, Yes he did. I got quite a chuckle out of that.

TSA will love this...

I was hoping for something like this, but for the working class.

@digidt: The only problem with a Budweiser flash drive is that Budweiser is not beer.

theimmc

In case of emergency, break glass.

@dewback51: Aaaa dude comment of the week for sure!!..but i guess for the other week

Mike918

Oh... a Beer Stick. Hahaha I get it.

For those not familiar with a beerstick it's something along the lines of a hot dog except it's made with salami..

Not to be confused of course with the Bierstick...

Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

Well, it probably keeps it running a little cooler.

Adam

Are they sure there appealing to the right demographic? seriously geeks+beer=? now geeks+energy drinks=WIN! rednecks+this odd beer filled USB flash drive= rednecks don't even own computers and shouldn't they be making beer beer coozies and NASCAR memorabilia. and c'mon who drinks budweiser?

SirNirian

near gnats urine in a usb drive.... hey whatever floats your boat.

sonburn

@digidt: What was that type of beer you like? I couldn't hear what you said over the deafening sound of me not giving a f*ck. Beer snobs piss off.

The Lab

@dewback51: By far, best comment of the week.

Synik103

Here's a disturbing question, how long before someone comes out with a USB piss Christ?

[en.wikipedia.org]

Don't even think about doing a piss Mo...

Gary_7vn

@SirNirian: Ever watch Diggnation?

Skorpius

Were it real beer, 'twould be nerd-perfect for the Wookie Challenge.

kangaroo

Make as many nascar jokes as you want but I would kill for 2 gigabytes of beer.

squish123

A drive filled with clean urine might have a market.

PastorDoodah

Do you need a special set of glasses to see the objects in 3D? Like, is there a red and a green floater in there, and if you put on the glasses you go "whooooa, there's something INSIDE this" ? Not bad for an idea obviously hatched at a rather moist nachspiel.

Finchnixer

@dewback51: Indeed!

Spot on old chap!

strider_mt2k

Not really filled with beer

The CNK site offer options such as With Liquid, and With Foam Effects. Oh the options!

YoFrodo

lol @ this...is there a possibility to drink some beer when needed, and refill the device with your own beer, in my case the best Belgian beer in the world? would be great uaha!

Aztronot

Can't wait for Ethanol fuel cells...they keep everything going, even you...Lol

MadCrazy

I think the point of something like this is to attract attention. Case in point.

stryder100

@Kingteddybear:
It is Budweiser. 8-)

Rick Lobrecht

Bahahahaha--now the link says "As seen on Gizmodo"!!!!

Seriously though... Custom floaters? I poop those out every day...

adamator

@undefined: Well, you know what they say about American beer, eh? It's like making love in a canoe.

@The Lab: Your cornflakes. They tasted pissy this morning, didn't they? Or was it tasting of Bud? Never mind... same thing.

Xanderificus

what a country!

in Russia, Beer has USB drive of you!

StopRilla

only question is, can this be sold to minors?

Aberroownn

I guess none of you morons checked the website -- it's not actual beer. The manufacturer says the USB sticks come with fluid "in your choice of color," presumably so you can simulate beer, etc. for marketing purposes. Jeez.

OtisAethalides

me wants a bigger flash drive.. hic*

Maxxofor

@tkohrs2002: @dewback51:

it's not everyday I come across a comment that forces me to sing it in my head-well done!

discounteggroll

It's not filled with beer, it's really pungent urine.

General Halfshaftery

im sorry *gives hug and reassuring smile*

enchantedgoose

@The Lab: rofl Amen.

liroku

What I love is on their website, Giz, your whole blurb is proudly displayed right at the top. They know irony. Kudos for that. The absurdity makes me want these stupid things, even if they are signs of the apocalypse. The sooner the better. Bring on that planet killing asteroid with the Pink Floyd soundtrack!

ohjohnsmall

@strider_mt2k:

Haha, thanks guys. Those commercials were the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Anyhow, I imagine that the liquid in there is not actually beer, just yellow water from whatever country they make these things in. Odds are the maker will get sued when some idiot cracks it open for a refreshing drink and winds up with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Cheers!

dewback51

@The Lab: Ha! Agreed. Beer should be loved in all it's wonderful forms.

MacAttack7388

This guy denigrates not western civilization but the underpinnings of out society and the most anyone can say is jokes about the usb stick. @#!# you. You Commie socialist fascist pig. People are free to buy what they want and May I remind you that Apple and half of your "cool" gadgets are born right here in the U.S.A. Sure there might be some dumb @#@$s out their but how cool is making being poor. Socialist russia Average GDP per capita 14,800, Communist china 5,400, USA 45,800, FTW. I'll take my Capitalism thank you. Only here can a guy like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs exist on his own work.

If you don't like that you have extra money for "beer" usb drives why don't you donate it all to helping china or move there.

plemke1

I wish they had come up with the USB breathalyzer first. Either that or Ebay needs some sort of sobriety test.

Uglyshoe

Agreed!

Budweiser is beer for people who don't know good beer!

(And don't even get me started on 'lite' beers!)

EricAlder

It looks like a futuristic urine sample.

I guess CNK Promotions subscribes to the "Any publicity is good publicity" mantra:

They show the raw link just as it appears in the address bar of your browser right now! LOL
