This could probably be used to check for authentic game cartridges. I’m not going to be licking used games to find out if they’re real, though.
Jokes on them I can’t taste it anymore after COVID, there is no longer any deterrent from me eating their cartridges
The covid’s collateral effect in my case was in my heart, you’re a luck guy
Sorry to hear that, friend. Have a good friend who is also dealing with long covid for years. He’s been on different drug trials but nothing had much of an effect. He’s very slowly getting some energy back, but still can’t work a full time job.
I’ve known about this for years, and I’m still convinced that in a few years time you’re going to see collectors and/or used game store clerks going “Ah see this one is valuable because it’s got the bittering agent still intact. It hasn’t all been licked off.”
This post is a trick to make you lick game cards and find out
And it worked. I just licked one. It tasted horrible.
Just what one of them would say.
Would you be disappointed if I told you I originally heard about this with the DS/3ds, tested it, then tested it again when the switch came out to see if they were still doing it?
Silverchase’s comment is a trick to prevent you from finding out how tasty switch cartridges are.
I think mine has LSD on it.
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.)
I’ve acquired a taste for them.
I eat five a night.
Many battery manufacturers do this with CR disc shaped batteries as well.
Interestingly, this coating can cause issues for some products like the Apple AirTags. I know this because I used one of these batteries with a bitterest in the AirTag on my keys and the AirTag didn’t work.
And what’s funny is that the solution is to lick the coating off either sides of the battery to get them to work.
Because of this, I christen my cartridges by licking them.
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
is it named denatonium because babies hate it
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.
