"As mentioned by my colleague Liz Lopatto, the Haribo Mini Power Bank comes with a built-in USB-C cable, along with support for fast charging. An archived version of the listing also says it has a chip designed "to protect the power bank from overcharging, overheating, and overpowering." The device appears to be part of a crowdfunded brand collaboration in Japan, which includes another Haribo-themed 10,000mAh mini power bank that's now listed as "currently unavailable" on Amazon."
