Because of this, I christen my cartridges by licking them.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I got my unsuspecting 10 year old to lick one of those just to see if the Internet was lying to me. It was as easy as "hey Nintendo made those cartridges bitter....you should lick it to see." Lol
You are a terrible parent and also I hope you took a video and put it up on YouTube... because my kid is 14 and I won't be able to convince her.
Lmao. Nope they did it too fast and without hesitation. I didn't have a chance and once the jig was up it was too late to try again.
Okay then. I need to plant a seed... "I read on the internet that they put this really bitter chemical on Switch cartridges to stop kids from putting them in their mouths, but you know how it is on the internet. You can't believe everything you read." But first I need to install a camera system in the room where her switch is.
Edit: She saw through my clever ruse and went to look it up for herself.
Clever... Next time just tell her to try some thing on a spoon and right before you let her have it just shove the switch game in her mouth

Next do the 9V battery trick
Don't tempt me with a good time. I think that's a teenage party trick. I might need to wait a couple years. He's still kinda a wuss.
I've acquired a taste for them.
I eat five a night.
That sounds like an expensive hobby. Have you thought of trying cocaine instead?

All launch copies of Breath of the Wild have been licked. It's a rite of passage. (They taste worse than you'd think they would.)
Hah ! That means I own the only unlicked launch copy of BotW in the world ! DM me your offers, starting at $1 million, serious people only, I know what I have /s
I have another one unlicked, I accept $750.000.
And it apparently has the opposite effect, I'm guessing someone on Youtube or something licked one to show it off, because one of my nephews kept saying he wanted to lick one.
My friend and her husband got a switch back when it first launched, I had heard about this and so the next time I was over I asked if they'd licked one yet.
He said they hadn't, and he also denied my request to lick one.
When he left the room, his wife got a mischievous look in her eye and asked if I wanted to lick one.
I of course took her up on her offer and tasted a cartridge while he wasn't looking.
I asked if she had tried one, and of course she had.
They're both cool people, but of the two of them she's definitely my partner in crime.
is it named denatonium because babies hate it
