We've come across some pretty cool novelty flash drives in our day, but we decided to journey to the farthest reaches of the web -- finding USB drives from Europe to the far east -- to bring you some novelty USB flash drives that are, well, wicked cool.

	Folder Novelty Jump Drive This novelty jump drive takes on the classic apperance of that old fashioned apparatus that used to be used to store pieces of something called paper. These manila folder-esque flash drives, dubbed Folderix, come in a 4GB flavor and have a read speed of 14MB/second and a write speed of 2.5MB/second. Alas, the left tab may be a tad bit small to slap a label on.
	Mercedes Benz Keychain Drive Impress the ladies with your...errr fancy flash drive keychain. Looking just like the fancy electronic keys on the latest Benz, this novelty jump drive comes in 2GB, 4GB and 16GB versions. When the blond at the bar asks you what kind of Benz you drive, no need to blush -- just tell her how big your jump drive is (and yes, we're talking gigabytes not inches -- get you head out of the gutter).
	USBiscuit Drive This novelty flash drive would look almost good enough to eat, at least if its tasty cream filling weren't replaced by electronic USB drive innards. Dubbed the USBiscuit (think biscuit), keep this data storage device away from your dog or you may be telling your professor that, in all honesty, your dog ate your homework.
	Grenade Novelty Jump Drive If you are a frequent flier, this may not be the flash drive for you. Looking just like a mini grenade, pulling out the pin on this jump drive will let you heroically backup all those spreadsheets just in case the unthinkable happens. Along with liquids over 3oz, this USB flash drive is not on the TSA's list of approved carry-on items. Come to think of it, checking your bags may not work either.
	Buffalo Wings Jump Drive While you would probably agree that these novelty jump drives don't exactly look finger lickin' good, they can help you make sure that your data isn't DOA (that's dead on arrival for those of you who have steered clear of these mouth scorching wings). You have two flavor choices -- BBQ pork or drumstick -- but only one 2-gigabyte dipping sauce.
	AmEx Jump Drive This credit card-like flash drive will store a good deal more than just a numerical string of digits. Using this American Express credit card won't help boost your credit score, but it will help you carry around 2GB of data comfortably in your wallet. According to American Express' website, they won't be able to cancel this card if lost.
	Jump Drive/Bottle Opener With a solid, brushed aluminum housing, the TrekStor won't snap on you when prying the top off your brew. So crack open an ice cold one oh data storage master, you deserve one.
	Superbly Tiny Flash Drive Like the other flash drives priveleged enough to make our top ten list, this superbly tiny device certainly doesn't resemble your typical run-of-the-mill flash drive. This little novelty guy comes in a range of gigabytes and colors. Coming in at little more than the dimensions of a fingernail, though, you may need to store this drive in something a tad bit bigger lest it dissappear the moment you take your eyes off it.
	SanDisk Ducati Extreme The Ducati Extreme novelty flash drive, made by SanDisk, resembles the tank cover of a Ducati bike. With blazing fast read and write speeds of 20MB/second, this crotch rocket flash drives will satisfy ab uber-nerd's need for speed. With a princely price tag of $124.99 for 4GB, this flash drive is reserved for only the most extreme.
	Ligtbulb Novelty USB Flash Drive Attention inventors, writers and made scientists, when that lightbuld goes off in your head, there may be only one place to store your self-proclaimed stroke of genius. This lightbulb shaped novelty flash drive 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of sheer brilliance, and even has a protective cap that will screw right off.
