I was quite bored this afternoon, and decided to round up some of my favorite USB Flash Drive designs I’ve come across while web surfing. From food items to religious figures, these designs are certainly… Original, if nothing else. Click on the pictures for more info.

First up is a class food option: the donut. Brilliantly recreated here in all the chocolaty goodness of the real thing. Sure, it looks like a little bit of misplaced pressure might snap the darn thing, but let’s be honest here - you’re not buying one of these to store your classified Pentagon documents.

Next is on the more wacky side - it’s a USB stick in the shape of the Virgin Mary. Emblazoned with the the words “Oh Mary, Keep My Data Safe,” this flash drive will presumably answer your prayers and keep your illegal MP3s away from prying RIAA eyes. Complete with a built in red LED heart that “beats” when data is being accessed.

Third is from the [far too] long line of stuffed animal flash drives. But the designer of this drive felt the need to force the user to decapitate this teddy bear every time they want to use it. Because nothing says “High Speed Data Transfer” like a Teddy with his head stuck in a computer.

What’s more fun than bowling? Taking your bowling ball with you wherever you go and using it to store your spreadsheets, that’s what! Dubbed the “World’s heaviest flash drive,” it’s owner stuffed his flash drive into a sixteen pound bowling ball and called it a day. Have fun connecting it to your computer…

Another food-based design, this one isn’t recommended to be used after watching Sweeney Todd. It’s so poorly done, I can’t actually tell whether it’s Photoshopped or not, but I do like how ridiculous an idea it is.

For the dark side of you, there’s the “Devil Duckie” flash drive. Graced with a not-quite sportscar-red rubbery finish, this one’s perfect for that computer you keep in your bathroom. Pair with the Virgin Mary flash drive for added fun.

This is one I might actually consider using - a flash drive made from real Lego bricks! I’d be a bit worried about the sharp corners digging into my skin, but hey - it’s a working lego brick! You can actually build things out of them!!! I wouldn’t actually build a lego structure with this thing though, or you’re liable to lose it.

This one’s just downright disgusting. It’s a “Thumb” Drive. Insert your own joke here.

I love my sushi. I love my flash drive. Sushi+flash drive? Pretty good, I must admit. With Tuna, Avocado and more on the menu, you’ll be sure to find a roll to fit your tastes. Or your storage needs… Whichever is more important to you, I suppose.

My favorite: it’s a USB drive that’s been stuffed into a frayed USB cord. Basically, it looks like you left your USB cord a little too close to a hungry rodent, but SURPRISE!!! It’s actually 2GB of your favorite files. This one’s got my vote for innovative and fun (with the added bonus of not being overly obnoxious).
