Mint Hard, An External HDD Shaped Like A Popsicle

How long will it be before you try taking a bite of your new external HDD? If it’s shaped like a chocolate popsicle, it probably won’t take you more than 5 minutes, which is about as long as it takes an ice pop to melt in the summertime. This one won’t melt, and if you were actually to take a bite or if a pack of famished kids should get their hands on it, it wouldn’t break. It has a gloss coat on it that makes it look more appetizing and also protects it from sudden attacks of gluttony.

The external HDD shaped like "a good old popsicle" was created by Korean design firm mintpass. The product’s name, Mint Hard, is a play on words that’s apparently pretty funny if you speak Korean. Koreans call popsicles hard, the same word they use to refer to hard drives. So, it makes a lot of sense to call a popsicle-shaped hard drive Hard.

If you don’t like chocolate, it’s also available in other flavors. The classic vanilla has a 60 GB capacity hard drive and 2 GB memory stick, and the strawberry flavor has 80/4 GB. Now we just have to wait till it goes on the market!
