Nintendo Switch cartridges have a secret ingredient so you don't eat them

Today we bring you a news that I assure you that it will not leave you indifferent, since Jeff Gertsmann, head of Giant Bomb , decided to put a cartridge from the Nintendo Switch console in his mouth about a week ago. The reason? Somewhat unknown… but this resulted in his statements being something like the taste was " unbearable ", much more than just a game cartridge. What is clear is that nobody is going to go around putting a video game cartridge in their mouth (at least we think so), but if you do, keep in mind that the taste is horrible.

Nintendo has decided to add a secret ingredient to the cartridges of the Nintendo Switch. This is so that you do not eat them and do not even think about it, because of the bitter taste that it does not want to not try.

Secret ingredient of Nintendo Switch cartridges

But what is the secret ingredient of the Nintendo Switch cartridges ? It is called denatonium benzoate. The name is already scary, and if we take a look on the Internet, we see that it is " the most bitter chemical compound ". Come on, it is the strongest they have found to put in the cartridges for some strange reason and so no one eats them.

Do not try it for anything in the world, because as we tell you, it is a very bitter chemical compound, the most bitter of those known. It is such a bitter taste that it is unbearable for the vast majority of human beings. It is even used as nail polish, to prevent them from eating.

This compound, denatonium benzoate is so strong, that it has been chosen by Nintendo to coat the cartridges of the console. But for what reason? They wanted to think especially of the smallest, of children, thus avoiding the possibility of an accidental intake. We also want to highlight that the component is not toxic, it is super bitter, but not toxic.

What do you think of the idea that the guys from Nintendo have followed? Crazy or right?
