Switch Card Flavor Test

KaydeeKrunk · Mar 4, 2017

So I mean, all I have read about the Switch so far is that the games tastes awful.
WHY IS THIS PERTINENT INFORMATION?
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE PUTTING THEIR GAMES IN THEIR MOUTHS?

I mean I guess it's neat that Nintendo was like "these are small lets deter children from swallowing them" but like EVERYONE IS TASTING THEM. Like I saw a picture of a switch card being dipped into guacamole today... it's been out ONE DAY PEOPLE.

It's like someone saying "Hey dude, this smells awful, come smell it."

People always tend to have a morbid curiosity for these things

People are just bananas! But it also makes me wonder why they didn't do the same with the 3DS cartridges. I mean, they're p small too.

I guess they just never thought about it until the Switch

Plus I think the 3DS cartridges are bigger and harder for children to swallow anyway, so it wasn't a precaution they thought was necessary? Those Switch carts are tiiiiny.

I feel like you're challenging me to swallow one...

I'm tempted to try it when I get Zelda.

It's apparently the same agent they use for like people to stop chewing their nails, a bittering agent.

Ooh that's interesting actually.

I'm going to try it eventually, but not on my precious Breath of the Wild. Lol

its because every source i can find tells me not to lick it
if they just said "it tastes bad" i probably would be like "huh cool lol" and move on
but because every source is telling us specifically not to
we lick it

its like wet paint signs, you touch the paint because it tells you not to

bone app the teeth

i get it, like when someone tells you not to touch your face and it starts itching

Can confirm. 3DS cartridges are bland. I just licked my Pokemon Sun...

They should season them.

I can confirm that my Ocarina of Time cartridge tastes like a plastic cartridge.

I'm most likey thinking people/big YouTubers have been sponsered by Nintendo to do something, so they decided the best method of approach is to lick the cartridges.

I think they're making the game cartridges smaller because the majority of Nintendo's fanbase is man-children who know not to swallow cartridges who haven't fully grown up yet. Sad.

See, but do they know they're also trying to sell it to me, a very forgetful ADD having adult who loses normal sized things? Solve that problem Nintendo, then we'll talk about you getting some more of my money.

True... I have one digital game on my 3DS... that I don't even play... -_- Good times.

So I conferred with my friend and she confirmed that she licked her BOTW cartridge and sure enough, it tasted awful, the same stuff you can buy to put on your nails to stop yourself from chewing them!

This is probably just inevitably increasing the chances of anyone swallowing/choking on a cartridge.

Basically. It's like a challenge so more people are going to do it.

Honestly, they shouldn't have said anything about it if they didn't want people doing it. A few people might have put it in their mouth for whatever reason and thought "this tastes awful" with that being about it, but Nintendo actually coming out and saying "we made them taste awful" only leads people to think "well...What exactly do they taste like?".

Like, if somebody told me that Wii U disks taste like cucumber (I despise cucumber), I would dine on one of those ASAP just out of curiosity to whether it does taste like cucumber...Otherwise it's not something I would think to do.
