I learned today that the Japanese are not only into their gadgets, but also plastic food as well. Yes, you read that right. The Japanese are really digging the whole plastic food scene. Hey, that is fine with me. In a society (much like our own) that is so into the synthetic, it is not all that shocking that they would also be doing the synthetic food thing as well.

At any rate, the Japanese have decided to take their USB drives and combine them with this crazy plastic food fetish. The end result is plastic food that has the ability to be a data backup tool. (What, you thought that I had some incredibly clever commentary all cooked up?)

We’ve seen USB Flash drives come in all shapes and sizes, but the new SolidAlliance (they brought us the USB duck drives) sushi drives set a new standard in conjoining the Japanese obsession with plastic food and our obsession with weird USB drives. Unfortunately your tekka maki only comes in sizes from 32 to 128MB, so we may hold out until they hook up some 512MB+ fugu drives.
