I'm writing a story about hidden e-waste. Chips and electronics in products such as children's toys, shoes, clothes, etc. Anyone has some funny / weird examples of products you don't expect to have chips / or that have no useful reason to have chips--but still do? Or examples of really throwaway electronics such as vapes?
