The latest Evangelion merchandise is a 2 GB flash drive shaped
like an entry plug . . .:

Especially because of their size, I can't help but notice how much
that looks like . . . well, let's just say it probably doesn't take a
gutter mind to come to my conclusion . . .

Only 2Gig? That isn't very large for a thumb drive nowadays...
especially when they're asking 3980 yen for them.

Agreed that that one's funky. About the right price for its memory,
too. I picked up a plain 4G Kingston on sale recently for $10 (and
wound up missing an 8G one for $20 a couple weeks later), so the Eva
one and ones made by Rush (4G, $40 US/CAD on sale now, normally $70)
and the White Stripes (512M (!),$57.50(!!) each containing the _Icky
Thump_ album in AAC, $30 for both Jack and Meg versions with no files
on them) aren't so appealing.

Slighly off topic, but the Blue Ray of Batman Begins came a few weeks
ago with a free USB stick (bat logo'd), it's whopping 128Mb filled with
artwork. *rolls eyes*

No, a Vick Vapor Inhaler. <http://www.vicks.com/vapor-inhaler-info.php>

But do people _want_ a USB drive that can be nasally inserted?

Now now, they have to get rid of those old sticks somehow.

Black, and when you access it a small black light should light up black
to let you know you've done it.

Would that be the one that's labeled in black on a black background?

At one convention I went to, the Ops team had all-black badges with
"OPS" printed in black on those badges.
