Design inspiration blog Adbuzeedo recently threw together a sweet lookin' roundup of cool USB drives that we just couldn't pass up. Some of them are drives you've seen here at Unplggd, but many others are so strange and out there that you've got to see them to believe your eyes. Now, prepare yourself for a fun house filled from top to bottom with USB absurdity, after the jump.
Since quoting the entire list from Abduzeedo would just take too much of your time, we've selected a few of our favorites from the list of 25 below:
The above picture is a drive you've already seen here at Unplggd: USB Drives: Secure and Injected Data.
Gatorade USB: Get juiced! Fresh off the assembly line is this custom Gatorage bottle inspired drive by Flickr user molotalk.
Wine Stopper USB: Combine your love of wine and technology together in a single handmade piece of technology.
MIMOBOT USB Flash Drives: Technology meets the toy kingdom.
Dialog05 Eternal Love: "Are we suited to one another? are we really compatible? how long will it last? it’s all about give and take – synchronize!" Yeah, so it's not really a USB drive, but more of a token of affection between two nerdy lovebirds. Let's not be the judge of anyone here..
Feel free to check out the rest of their roundup over here.

Enough already...It's a Flash Drive! Who wants a Syringe sticking out of the side of their laptop?
I really don't get this trend.

Kids in high school are required to have them like we were required to have floppy drives. So in that respect, I can totally see having a fun one.

Yeah, they're just as ubiqitous now as floppies were back in my day. It doesn't hurt to get a little creative.

I find giving music and/or video mixes away as gifts is fun and creative. It helps if the packaging isn't always basic business black or silver.
For instance, what if you gave the syringe drive to someone in the healthcare field that included a bunch of medical reference books. Or maybe the gold bars could contain a bunch of personal finance stuff like Excel budget spreadsheets and pre-organized folders for finance stuff.
