While it is somewhat off-topic, since the prices you will find for a
single unit give little indication of bulk prices, you can find USB flash
drives in similar form factors to the ones Apple has shipped for recovery
media. Amazon even has a page for them:
http://www.amazon.com/USB-Flash-Drives-Storage-Add-Ons/b/ref=amb_link_84515931_28?node=3151491
Or the ones I like are the SuperTalent Pico series:

Or Verbatim's version:
http://www.verbatim.com/prod/usb-drives/everyday-usb-drives/tuff-n-tiny-sku-97168/
I have had a SuperTalent drive (not quite the one they have now) in my
wallet for a few years now and it has come in handy a number of time. If I
didn't I probaly would have bought one of the keyring ones form LaCie or
SuperTalent:
