Typically the search for a souvenir lands you a shot glass, t-shirt or even a goofy spoon that could never actually be used.  However, San Francisco is taking a slightly more hi-tech approach to the usual boring souvenirs.  Instead of picking up a post card that will only get tossed in a desk drawer and forgotten, you could pick up their novelty USB drive.  Don’t worry, it’s not some 50MB drive that could never be used on a regular basis.

No, these Cable Car USB Drives go up to 16GB, giving you plenty of room to toss files onto.  It’d also mean instead of having a useless souvenir, you’d have something quite useful.  The only downside is that a shot glass is never outdated, however, someday a flash drive will.  So although it would be useful now, you might find it silly to hang onto it later.  The drives come in blue/red and green/red.  Then to top things off, they come with 30+ pictures of San Francisco already on the drive.  It retails for $36.99 (for the 16GB drive) on Amazon, or it can be picked up at the Cable Car Museum.
