Face it. Tech can look...well, boring. Gray, wiry, boxy items, right?  Not any more. Now the thumb drive you slip from your pocket can resemble a juicy piece of watermelon or a delectable hot wing.

To liven up the dull workaday world, a number of companies have created fun foody USB drives that look so much like the real thing, you could be tempted to steal your office mate's cookies! These drives, from usb.brando.com, also come in American-friendly hamburger and pizza shapes, as well as healthier choices like strawberries.

But the menu doesn't stop there. Over at Dynamism.com, they cater to the Asian crowd with a sushi spread from squid to caviar to California rolls.

The ethnic diversity deliciousness continues from SolidAlliance with their Rice-Tomato USB hub, as well as the keys of shrimp, crab and Creme Caramel.

SolidAlliance also had dessert for last Christmas; sadly, this no-cal piece of heaven vanished quickly. But you can still get the white chocolate doughnuts.

For those on restricted diets, try the colorful LEGO look, to keep your spirits up. Perhaps just a whiff of something good will satisfy you-- you can have the Flash-Key Fruit-A-Roma from Microdia that give the USB drives various fruit smells.  For some reason.

Or on those black days when there is no chocolate in sight, there's always this.  At any rate, it's not fattening. OR boring.
