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?
I sell cocaine to fund my switch cartridge habit.

Jokes on them I can’t taste it anymore after COVID, there is no longer any deterrent from me eating their cartridges
If you do end up eating one, tell us how many bytes it took.
Urghhh
The covid’s collateral effect in my case was in my heart, you’re a luck guy
I wouldn’t call either of you lucky. In fact, I feel really bad for both of you.
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 had a friend who got covid pretty early, he was a carpenter and can’t really work ever since. He’s winded after walking up a few steps. But he’s also an anti vaxxer covid denier, so i find it hard to feel bad, because i’m pretty sure he dragged some other people down with him.
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.
Coward.
I couldn’t resist.
That’s good.
Can I go now?
It’s makes them taste disgusting.
Part of the ritual of buying a new Switch game for me is licking it. More difficult for digital downloads, but I was determined and found a way.
Stick your tongue in the ethernet port?
Help it’s stuck
Help step bro im stuck in the ethernet port
Why does the Internet go to incest unnecessarily
Can a human tongue discern the taste of a TCP packet compared to an UDP packet?
Put the cable in your mouth so you can feel the electric impulses. If TCP is being used you can feel the packets going back and forward, but if youre using UDP you can only feel them going forward.
There’s only one way for you to find out for sure.

Either mine don’t have the coating, or I’m immune to it somehow.
I finally tried licking one recently, and it didn’t taste like anything
Did you buy it used?
eww!
I read somewhere that they stopped doing it. Not sure how often this happened or if it even happened to every game.
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.
I have to assume there’s a common non tongue applied solvent that works
People apparently rub them with IPA.
I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.
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.
The ultimate gamer high is to take a deep breath from the Steam Deck exhaust, lick a Switch cartridge, hold your breath, and then chug down a G Fuel.
This is peak gamer. I am in awe.
I remember this being a whole challenge. I remember licking one and being unimpressed. Pretty sure most people were exaggerating how bad it was.
It’s not like “oh dear God” levels of bitter but it’s enough to just be like “pteh ew” and spit it out.
But how do I remove the coating so I can chew on my switch cartridges?
Sulfuric acid.
I learned that a ways back, told a streamer and gave him a buck to confirm it. Dollar well spent lol.
No clip?
Was a bit of a hunt but I found it, https://www.twitch.tv/anderoc/clip/ThankfulTriumphantPotYee
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.
