Stick a Cork In It

Offered by Rakuten Global Market, images of the Hum "blank" USB flash drive wrapped into this article's text will help tell the story of a simple 2GB flash drive inserted into a cork and coupled with artistry, philosophy, and a small glass bottle.

Some existential meaning or humor concerning the glass bottle may have been lost in the translation from Japanese to the English language since USB drives are typically sold blank, with no data included. The reference seems to be to the fact that the glass bottle can be empty of physical material and simultaneously full of unseen data.

Instead of existential, the humor is unintentional. Quoting directly from the Rakuten Global Market website: "I get this product wet, and, please do not use it at a juicy place. It causes an electric shock, the trouble".

Got $36,900?

If the Hum "blank" USB flash drive is a work of art you found interesting, it could be worth a minute or two to look at the $36,900 $parkly Mushroom USB Flash Drive Jewelry Gadget.

Humming Right Along in a Minimalistic Kind of Way

In this case the glass is neither half full, nor half empty. The USB drive, however, will be completely full when it reaches its 2GB capacity. Expect to lose about 43-buckaroo$ if you choose to buy. Shipping from Japan will add significant additional cost.
