When it comes to widely used gadgets of a technical configuration which has become a sort of standard, something no longer spectacular and easy to mass replicate, the shape and design of said gadgets remain the only things that can actually make a difference in sales terms. And so it came to pass that a pact of sweet promise was made between Jaszwares and The Hershey Company. Their purpose is to mesmerize those gadget lovers known to harbor a sweet tooth. Or at least those who are looking for unconventionally-shaped USB drives, so that their co-workers think they are cool and stuff.
First of all, we've got the Hershey USB-candy line. Our eyes shall be magically entranced by fake candy shells such as those imitating Krackel, Twizzlers, Bubble Yum, Mr. Goodbar and the Hershey bar. They may arouse swallowing reactions in you, but they are the ones that actually have to do the swallowing (of data), with various models offering between 1 and 4GB storage space. The price varies accordingly, from $14.99 to $29.99.
And this doesn't stop at USBs. Why not turn more and more gadgets to the Sweet Side? After all, the Plastic or Metal Side is kind of boring, just like Jedis are more boring than Sith. (I bet Darth Sidious's USB drive was shaped like a tablet of evil chocolate.) Consequently, we are promised inedible technological goodies such as a digital camera (1.3 MP) looking like Hershey's Kisses (for 29.99 USD), as well as MP3 speakers in the same guise (9.99 USD).
Then, if you're really bent on assembling a Kisses collection, you can fall for some Kisses earphones, in exchange for 7.99 USD. There are also memory sticks masquerading as Kisses. If your knowledge of candy is adequate, thou shalt recognize the design of the original Kisses. The 2GB model costs 19.99 USD and the one with 4GB on board, 29.99 USD.
We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is
