With a fat content of 2 – 8GB these bacon sticks have a great ability to get to the meat of files. That’s especially useful when you’re computer is hogged down. Unfortunately the flavor is a little rubbery but maybe that’s just telling porkies…

2) A chicken flash drive.

So how about making memory sticks a little more fashionable? Whether you’re a lady or guy, with handbag flash drives you’re guaranteed to be the star of the bitwalk.

For the male office nerd the attention might be a little awkward of course unless he cunningly draws it from his female co-workers. A baggage size of 1-8GB coupled with a suave “Here, let me lend a bag…” could definitely help and impress. And with pink or red colors, purse flash drives don’t just make life easier but also more flamboyant.

Not quite prêt-a-port, handbag memory sticks first need to be zipped open at the side before you can let the data out of the bag. Or into it.

If you don’t want to go with plastic, rubber or latex you could instead emanate more high society with crystal diamonds.

This handbag flash drive is actually a pendant so you can wear it around your neck instead of your wrist. Also, it has a retractable USB connector eliminating the need of unzipping (sorry ya’ll ).

Well, whatever baggage you choose make sure it’s the electrical kind instead of emotional. Because the first is easy to carry around and actually helps you to get the load off your system. And if it ever happens to be too full you can simply delete it with a few clicks. After that, carry-on downloading.
