Same agent as used in anti-nail biting treatment coats Nintendo Switch game cartridges to help prevent children swallowing them

The Nintendo Switch is a mixed-use, family friendly console and its games come on little proprietary memory cards.

History does not definitively record who first thought it a necessary part of their review to lick one, but someone did.
