TrekStor's stylish USB stick doubles as bottle opener

Is this a bottle opener that also functions as a flash drive, or is this a USB stick that just so happens to double as a bottle opener? While pundits debate that one, we'll step in to tell you that this brilliant creation from the minds of TrekStor includes a solid, brushed aluminum housing, USB 2.0 connectivity and the ability to play nice with any major operating system. Regrettably, it looks as if this one will launch in Europe alone next month for anywhere between €6.99 ($10) and €49.99 $71) depending on size (1/2/4/8/16GB capacities). Please, upload responsibly.

effin want!

[Mush @ Sep 15th 2008 9:51PM]

are we all too weak to open a bottle caps such as the ones show in the picture?
i've open millions of those easily just with my hand.....i guess we're all nerds and
yes we are all too weak =DDD lol

though...if u plan on opening say...100 of them in a day...sure this would be helpful
but why not just a true bottle opener if u open that many?

Finally!!1! A USB stick I will actually buy!

[kojo87 @ Sep 15th 2008 5:27PM]

you mean you dont own a USB stick?? am i on the right blog?

[suckithard @ Sep 15th 2008 6:22PM]

Yea. Same here. Finally a USB stick I want to buy.

Btw, I rarely use usb sticks now. I don't need to carry tons of huge files everywhere, and I have everything stored online. Where ever I will need stuff, there will be high speed internet.

[dzhiurgis @ Sep 15th 2008 7:23PM]

Agreed.

Amazingly you can't find one at dealextreme (with leds, and stuff) :)

[Ignatius @ Sep 15th 2008 10:33PM]

I found the USB flash drive I wanted a long time ago. 4GB Cruzer Titanium. Hell yeah.

[Angelo Hijazi @ Sep 15th 2008 5:05PM]

I'm speechless...

[Olivier @ Sep 15th 2008 5:07PM]

Great, working in IT and be a real men ;-)))

[drumdbeat @ Sep 15th 2008 5:14PM]

[Samboini @ Sep 15th 2008 5:30PM]

Sorry, I only drink on days ending in a y.

[thedesolate1 @ Sep 15th 2008 8:05PM]

Thats the spirit!

[Crayola @ Sep 15th 2008 5:15PM]

Does come handy, Dow drop 500pts today, need more than a few beers...

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"

[drumdbeat @ Sep 15th 2008 5:18PM]

lawl.

[Thi mam(kris120890) @ Sep 15th 2008 5:27PM]

Absolutely effin funny.

[William @ Sep 15th 2008 5:47PM]

Don't Really know what this story has to do with Flash-Beer Openers; but it made my day.

[techyguru @ Sep 15th 2008 5:31PM]

Please tell me that this thing is waterproof.

Small electronic gadgets in close proximity to adult beverages being opened and consumed is begging for trouble, perhaps its a good for business.

Either way I want one.

[Hellaphunt @ Sep 15th 2008 5:21PM]

Oh how I've needed thee. I tend to buy Belgian beers and most of them do not have twist-offs. I'm sold.

[Samboini @ Sep 15th 2008 5:31PM]

God granted you with a lovely set of teeth. Man-up and use them as they were intended!

[Hellaphunt @ Sep 15th 2008 5:35PM]

Hell no. Let me use yours. I love mine too much.

[dzhiurgis @ Sep 15th 2008 7:27PM]

You can use phone also.
Although iPhone doesn't work that :)

[Hellaphunt @ Sep 16th 2008 11:07AM]

What kind of phone do you have? The brick? I have one of those still, but mine is a water bottle.

[Trae @ Sep 15th 2008 5:23PM]

Sealed...best gadget ever!

[jupiterthunder @ Sep 15th 2008 5:35PM]

What I really need is a USB stick/fork for use with my cake computer.

[Colin Potter @ Sep 15th 2008 5:55PM]

if you eat your computer how will you keep up on the amoeba blogs?

[rutsy5 @ Sep 15th 2008 5:37PM]

but how do you put it on your keychan/anything else?

[pfromg @ Sep 15th 2008 5:49PM]

just don't be a guy with a key chain. its not clever.

[Spanky @ Sep 15th 2008 5:37PM]

How come nobody thought of this sooner? Damn it, another great get rich opportunity missed by me :'(

I've got my eye on the 16GB version

[James @ Sep 15th 2008 5:38PM]

F'n Yes! Now when do they they come out with the church key model? This one won't fit on my key chain.

Needs repeating that one is fugly

[Howard_NYC @ Sep 16th 2008 9:52AM]

Q: what about us wine drinkers...?

I need a cork puller -- sans rude jokes, please -- since the stuff I tend to drink isn't sold in wax cartons, nor do the bottles have screw off caps

yah, I can see it now, a line of USB spikes for all sorts of drinkers... beer, wine, water (Mormons, don't ya know)

tee hee

[BeniRose @ Sep 15th 2008 6:09PM]

Wow, I might even be willing to pay to import that one.

[Tina @ Sep 15th 2008 6:10PM]

This would remove the clumpiness of my keychain... very useful. I need a new USB key anyway, and I'm glad to see it supports 2.0... (un)fortunately I'm not in Europe, so I won't be able to get this one!

[Mike C @ Sep 15th 2008 7:24PM]

you see, there is this thing called the internet...

[gad get @ Sep 16th 2008 4:26AM]

Yes, the same internet that you posted your comment on....

[waterhand @ Sep 15th 2008 6:40PM]

I thought you're not supposed to drink and drive. Hiyo!

[gabe @ Sep 15th 2008 6:55PM]

its so beautiful

[vansmack @ Sep 15th 2008 7:06PM]

This fly's in the face of my rule to never drink and flash...
