Offered by Rakuten Global Market, images of the Hum "blank" USB flash drive wrapped into this article's text will help tell the story of a simple 2GB flash drive inserted into a cork and coupled with artistry, philosophy, and a small glass bottle.

The reference seems to be to the fact that the glass bottle can be empty of physical material and simultaneously full of unseen data.

Instead of existential, the humor is unintentional. Quoting directly from the Rakuten Global Market website: "I get this product wet, and, please do not use it at a juicy place. It causes an electric shock, the trouble".
