I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

    suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

    Fuck. I know this smell. You just triggered NES and Super Nintendo memories in me. Never played Switch but I’m assuming they’re about the same.

      The switch cartridges have a bitterant added to them since they’re small enough to be a choking hazard. It’s not the smell of the construction material they’re talking about.

        Ah, so not the scent-memories that were triggered in me then. Different Nintendo scents, makes sense.

          I love the smell of electronics! What I’m referencing is indeed the bitter compound they put on Switch cartridges, it tastes really bad and you taste it for a really long time, a stern warning to would-be choking children.
