Pink Eraser USB Flash Drive

Step 6Watch it Get Copied

As people have noted several times in the comments, you can buy something like this at Target now. Checking on the site, I found it here. It's also listed on Amazon here where it shows that it's been offered since July 13, over three months after this was published.

Sure, you could buy one for $18, but why would you want to? Here are a few reasons not to be a sucker and just make it yourself:
- The case is plastic which means that it doesn't look or feel right at all.
- You only get 1GB for $18. You can get 4GB for under $13.
- The case says Dane-Elec on it
- Dane-Elec!?!

Also, I saw it in More Show Me How. It's a great book, and in one of the pages was about hiding your flash drive. One of the examples was a pink eraser. In this case though, I think it was a nicer form of copying. Anyway, great instructable!

They've dropped the price to a low, low $10.99 - not enough suckers out there I guess.
