    A trend started by Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb, by the way.

    And no. Never.

  • I'm pretty happy about this because one time my dog bit my Super Mario Bros DS game. Somehow it still survived and worked fine, but its not worth the risk again. If I get the Switch, I'm very happy about this feature. Not to mention, it might save some children's lives, which is a great thing Nintendo is doing.

    I will for-sure taste test the cartridges if i ever get my hands on the Switch!

  • They're supposedly covered in denatonium benzoate, a bittering agent also put in rat poison, antifreeze, other harmful substances to prevent human consumption.

    It's supposedly the worst tasting chemical scientifically possible to make.

    Someone on the Switch sub said that it doesn't work with dogs.

    Let's remember here, dogs will eat actual poop, so...

    True, but there are sprays that are produced to prevent dogs from chewing on furniture and other stuff around the house. In fact, my family has bought that kind of spray a few years back. I wonder if the chemicals used for the Switch cartridges are also used in sprays for dogs?

    But then again, the Switch sub seems to have evidence. But did that person actually try and have his dog lick the cartridge or force the cartridge in the dog's mouth? Im not saying he is a lier, but its somewhat fishy. To me, it wouldnt be worth the risk of either the cartridge being bit or the dog choking on the cartridge. In addition, dogs vary significantly and his dog may not mind that specific taste (but I'm no biologist lol).

    Okay I can get why they put a bittering agent on the carts but...

    ... This bothers me to an unreasonable extent.

    And the fact that someone actually put a piece of plastic containing electronic circuits into their mouth causes me to deeply question the collective intelligence of the human race.

  • Don't have a Switch yet, but I did nab BotW Switch while I was out.

    And I'm not gonna lie, the first thing I considered doing was ripping it out of the plastic and giving the cart a lick.

    *cough*

    I ended up fighting myself off of the idea because I'll wait to actually own a Switch and have an excuse for opening the game. And when I do

    ...When I do

    This has made me question your sense of reason to a rather extreme degree.

  • Asking "what was going through the mind of the first person to lick a Switch cartridge?" is kind of like asking what the first person to milk a cow thought they were doing.
