Has anyone tasted their games? Is this just a huge myth being perpetuated that they taste bad. I just tried eating the 3 games I have and couldn't taste anything.
It is common for manufacturers to make medicine "taste bad" (bitter) or smell ("gas") as a public health precaution. Kids will hopefully spit out bitter-tasting aspirin/medicine instead of ingesting it. Colorless, odorless (and deadly) gasses can be identified by distinct odors....
Similarly, I believe that plastics can be treated to, hopefully, ward off youngsters from using a USB drive as a pacifier.
I think Nintendo is pretty kool for doing this, I think more companies should consider doing it if it doesn't affect the performance/longevity of an item.
My kids, for example, found my headphones and chewed them (destroying them). I don't know if a bitter-tasting headphone would have stopped them or saved my headphones, but it would have been nice to find out....
