Gross! Thumb-Shaped USB Thumb Drive
By Alice Hill
RealTechNews
We don’t usually cover gross tech as a category, but this one definitely fits the bill. For those who prefer the term “thumb drive” to mean one of those USB-based keychain Flash memory storage units we all know and love, why not step it up a notch and go with a real thumb? Ok, the thumb isn’t real, but it is shaped to resemble a human thumb and guaranteed to catch everyone’s attention at your next meeting or presentation. Price: $89 for 128MB.

Dang.. that looks GOOD. Way too pricey for the size tho. If I could find one of those fake rubber hands that the thumb looked real, I’d rig one of these up myself!

Maybe if they changed it to the middle finger instead of the thumb…

Er, isn’t it being a thumb kind of the point?

A $15 flash drive sold for ninty bucks. That is the middle finger, right at the customer. What does $90 buy today, about a gig. Even at a gig, $89 is too much. All hail gimmick captain, the marketing grandmaster. He boldly takes cash from those who obviously have too much, and is a true hero.

Dang, I was going to check this out, but it appears they no longer have them, now they have the iDuck or the sushi drive.

I make those $6000 love dolls. With spare silicone we make not so realistic but just as fun thumb drives.
On the sight is how to make your own as well
