The Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 boast an extensive collection of video games that can be enjoyed on a television or taken on the move. Although they offer several non-gaming functions, such as accessing popular streaming platforms, an unusual application for the game cartridges has come to light. Users are reporting that the cartridges can serve as a means to identify whether someone is a super-taster, an individual who experiences flavors more intensely than the average person.
It goes without saying that licking a Nintendo Switch cartridge is not advised. Nevertheless, the cartridge can serve as an assessment tool because Nintendo incorporates a particular substance to prevent children from putting them in their mouths. This substance might trigger a reaction to the chemicals present on the Switch cartridge if one possesses the genetic traits associated with being a supertaster.
