Trekstor's beer-popping USB thumb drive

Fearing radiation, bruising or an accidental scrotal puncturing, my whole life has been spent trying to carry less stuff in my pockets, so I can only admire in abstract the fusion of one bit of pocket flotsam — a bottle opener — with another: the inexplicably ubiquitous USB thumb drive. TrekStore's variety comes in a brushed aluminum housing in capacities up to 16GBs. There's a price for all budgets, from about $10 to $70.

no keychain?
major design flaw.

@1 Indeed. The only reason I carry a bottle opener is that it's on my keychain.

It must have been said many times now, but truly the flash drive has replaced the digital clock for "let's take any product and add ..."

I'm waiting until they put a USB drive inside a flip-flop sandal. Or a hat brim. Or the bottom of a my travel coffee cup. Or the spare tire in my car. Or a rectal thermometer.

I have a bottle opener that's a sheet of steel the size of credit card and only has a oval shape cut out.

The only bottle opener worth having: a Bic brand lighter.
