Have you tasted a Nintendo Switch Cartridge yet???

No, Why would I do that? That would taste Awful.
 
When I was getting the Wii U version of BotW (fuckawesome game btw), the Gamestahp guy at the counter was like "by the way, have you licked a Switch game cartridge yet?" and I'm like "uh, no. why? You smoking weed or some shit?"

"Dude, they covered it in this compound that tastes super gross so toddlers wouldn't swallow them. Wanna taste it and see?"

"No, bud, I'm good. I'll take your word for it."


I do chew on plastic a lot sometimes (nervous habit I picked up in school...I bite things when I'm deep in concentration) but never a game cartridge, though. Personally I want to think this is just something that was first discovered when people were drinking too much while playing the Switch and someone got dared to lick the Breath of the Wild cartridge.

See, I always saw it as something like the cart getting a little too close to someone's face and they ended up smelling it, which then prompted a lick.

That or, in the case that's been my own every now and again, putting the cart in your mouth because your hands are full and you need to take it from point A to point B.

Not really sure why they'd lick it, exactly, you're not supposed to literally consume the cart so much as hold it with your lips but...this all had to start somewhere, I guess.
 
What an odd decision coming from Nintendo. They sure know how to bring something new to the table.

If I recall correctly Nintendo themselves made mention of this - that's why it caught on and everyone started doing it. However, even when you touch it you'll still get a gross taste on your finger and most people bite their nails so you'd get some sort of taste even if you didn't lick it. :X It's not good.

You made me remember that one Detective Conan case. Just make sure it's no Potassium Cyanide. {XD}
 
I've been wanting to taste the cartridge myself, but every time I remember to do it my game is still running so I can't pop the cart out. Maybe I can taste it today.
 
I am disappointed in all of you. You could have done this for science, and you all blew it. Learn to live a little! YOLO!

But in all seriousness, I actually did. I regret doing it.
 
I can't believe this is a thing. Science has finally gone too far! What will I do if I can't nervously chew on my game cartridges?
