OOPS, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CORD?


Written by: Brandon Marchek

USB thumb drives usually just give users a way to save their information and transport them on a more portable mean. But who said that all drives had to be the same boring rectangle? Sometimes that can get confusing when you are trying to distinguish your drive from others...however, there is a fun alternative; the “Hacked! OH! *#% Flash Drive from Fred and Friends."

This unique flash drive looks just like a cut USB cable, with the frayed wires on the end for added effect. At around $49, this 2 GB flash drive is on the more expensive side when it comes to flash drives (about $12-20 for a normal 2 GB drive nowadays), but with a unique design, its almost worth it to see the look on your friends’ faces.

Just make sure you remember that you bought one, and keep it in a safe location...perhaps a small pouch in your laptop bag. You wouldn’t want to be throwing away old cables and accidently throw away what appears to be a destroyed USB cable for a printer. You’d literally be throwing away 50 bucks and a couple nights worth of saved work.
