    I remember shortly after the switch launched, my friends had gotten one, and when I was over their house one day I asked if they had licked one of the cartridges yet.

    One of them said no, of course not. It didn’t seem like he was going to grant a request to taste one, so I didn’t press the issue.

    A few minutes later he walked out of the room for something, and his wife, who is definitely much more of my partner-in-crime when it comes to dumb ideas, got a little bit of a mischievous look in her eye and asked if I wanted to lick one.

    I of course said yes, and tasted their Breath of the Wild cartridge.

    I asked if she had tried it when her husband wasn’t looking, and of course she had.

    I’m pretty sure there are two kinds of people in this world, those who, on being told about the bitter coating on the cartridges have to test it out themselves to satisfy their curiosity.

    And those who think the whole idea is gross and it never crosses their mind to test it for themselves.

    And I think the two types tend to end up marrying each other, those two did, and my own wife has not yet licked any of our switch cartridges despite having ample opportunity to do so.

    to get the complete flavour profile, you need to disolve the cartidge - once liqiuid, it can be ingested as usual but it will cover a wider area of the taste buds and make a more effective coating

    Anyone who has eaten something without washing their hands after handling a cartridge should have gotten at least a little taste of why you shouldn’t do that.

    I licked several of the Switch 1 carts and I can’t taste whatever they’re using on them at all. I feel like I’m missing out!
