Anybody who uses a computer probably has come across a situation where USB has been really terrific. Having a thumb-drive handy to transfer files is incredibly convenient. Or plugging a printer in and having it work immediately -- many thanks USB!

But the limits of USB-usefulness extends even beyond these daily mundane tasks.

How about, for example, keeping a beverage cold? Well have no fear because USB can again save the day with the USB Mini Fridge. That's right -- just plug it into your computer, and you add drink-cooling functionality to your workstation.

And what happens after you drink that drink? What happens then? Well you might be hungry, that's what. But don't worry -- USB can help you out again with the George Foreman USB iGrill. Perfect for making sandwiches!

But USB is even more useful, believe it or not.

So, say you cooked a Reuben sandwich in your USB iGrill. What are you going to do now? You are satiated by beverage and sandwich, but a funny smell of meat lingers in the air, disrupting your co-workers.

Can any USB devices help you out in this situation?

Yes, some strange ones can! Just possibly pick up a USB 'Scent Drive' from AROMA USB. These small and stylish fragrance dispensers will "make your laptop smell fresh as a flower." For smell on the go, just plug in these sticks'o'smell, and prepare yourself for some olfactory ecstasy.

The wonders of USB are limitless!
