A completely necessary Angry Birds USB drive.Amazon.com by [TIME Staff](/author/time-staff/) Jun 4, 2012 1:00 PM CUT Sure, Angry Birds is popular. More than 1 billion Angry Birds games have been downloaded around the world. But somewhere between the arrival of Angry Birds toys and T-shirts and Angry Birds’ _debit cards_, the craze over the silly, addictive time killer has gotten, well, crazy. more It seems as if [Rovio](http://www.rovio.com/ "undefined"), the entertainment company responsible for Angry Birds, rarely runs into a licensing opportunity it turns down. Last year, the company earned $106.3 million in total revenue, and 30% of that came from merchandising and licensing deals. There is no shortage of [Angry Birds novelties](http://shop.angrybirds.com/us/ "undefined") out there, including the usual suspects such as T-shirts, costumes, plush toys, key chains, magnets, and infant onesies. Other Angry Birds items are rather unusual—which may be appropriate considering the idea of vengeful, agitated birds launching themselves one-by-one via slingshot into groups of surly, bivouacked pigs is also unusual. On the other hand, who would pay nearly $300 for a sterling silver Angry Birds ring? Here’s a list of some of the latest, most curious Angry Birds pairings, roughly in order of escalating absurdity: **Angry Birds Slingshot Pens** Though the [reviews at Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Angry-Birds-Slingshot-Design-Ball-Pointed/dp/B005MYE3H0 "undefined") are less than stellar (shoddy quality, possible choking hazards), the idea of a pen that doubles as an Angry Birds slingshot is sorta brilliant. But hey kids, bring something like this to class and you’re just asking for it to immediately be confiscated. Probably not a good idea to be playing with one of these during important meetings at the office either.

They’ve been making video games into cartoons (and vice versa) at least since the Pac-Man craze of the early ’80s, when there was a [TV show created](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jbMe6g471I "undefined") based on the video game.

A bar in [Singapore](http://topics.time.com/singapore/ "undefined"), meanwhile, has an [Angry Bird cocktail](http://unplugged.rcrwireless.com/index.php/20110624/news/9589/angry-birds-cocktail-tips-up/ "undefined") on the menu, combining Chivas Regal, peach liqueur, lemon and [apple](http://topics.time.com/apple/ "undefined") juice.
