USB Grill

USB Drink Warmer
USB Hamster Wheel

USB Shaver
USB Toothbrush
USB Fish Tank
USB Lava Lamp
USB Noodle Strainer
USB Flashlight
USB Vacuum Cleaner
USB Humidifier
USB Ashtray
USB Christmas Tree

Look there are so many different everyday USB appliances from Grills to Christams trees.

It's sad that life has come down to that for some. It isn't enough that their life evolve around the computer/laptop, but they needed everything that is not a hands-reach away right next to their computer. I can see the use for some of the little things, but if real, a noodle strainer? Some of these things are just funny, but great nonetheleast.
