Are stick miners worth it?

[Reclaim3r]

I've seen a plethora of USB stick miners enter the market but doesn't the price just make ROI unbearably long? Are they even worth it?

Define the 'it'.

[ StickMiners - Where FUN > ROI ]
( That thread has a section on ROI if that's the 'it' you were wondering about. )

The sticks normally don't make ROI. They are only to test mining and have fun.
A antminer u2 costs about 20$ for 1.6 GH/s that's 12.5$ per GH/s.
While other miners cost 1-2$ per GH/s.

Well, that explains a lot 
And yet, I see a lot of people have made some massive USB mining farms. I guess they too are also "having fun"

 I ran up to 127 of them   sold most off but I am mining a few on bitsolo.net

 these sticks are pulling under 35 watts
