You can see several videos online of people tasting them. Theory was that it was coated in something to avoid kids from swallowing the small cards. But I&amp;#x27;m not sure this was confirmed by Nintendo.</text></comment>

I always find these kinds of breakdowns interesting, because they always find something absolutely unique to the device.&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know, for this kind of &amp;quot;unique card device&amp;quot; use case, do companies usually have an in-house team in charge of developing it, or do they hire a third party, or does a third party approach them with the offer of a device like this?&lt;p&gt;If a third party, is it a small shop, or some established company? How is the company known and how does it build that relationship with Nintendo?</text></comment>
