We weren't prepared to see anything you could plug into a USB port that's hotter than USB sushi, but this is it. Available in several Chinese and Japanese flavors including tempura, the flash drive devices pictured above are a dish called takoyaki which, being a delicately prepared dish made out of octopus's (ahem) delicates, we'd just as soon plug it into a USB port as eat it. Apparently these are complete rip-offs pricewise, but that's not really the point, here, is it?
Almost looks like a Krispy Kreme USB donut. Either way, that's rediculous!
I hate to be picky but the 'balls' in "Octopus balls" refers to the shape of takoyaki, not the ingredients.
Sorry, but there are no octopus "delicates" in tako yaki. Just chopped up octopus bits (legs, etc.)
Actually, tako yaki tastes quite good.
Great site!
Was gonna make the same point, rog. I had to laugh, though, since my girlfriend thought the same thing in the past.
haha,
i actually thought those things are eatable untill i saw a usb socket sticking out.
thats really neat. Id like to see what the tempura one looks like!
And for the European Market: USB Profiterols...
Also do you think they come with "Do not eat/chew" warnings?
I really, really love takoyaki! This is a must have gadget! ^_^
Cute. But for $0 to $10 more, you can get iPod shuffle.
