Gamer Creates a French Fry Holder That Attaches to a Nintendo Switch 2

Some issues are universal. They transcend culture, religion, and even time and touch all of us. Every person needs shelter, food, water, and an easy way to eat French fries while playing the Nintendo Switch 2. Like we said, “universal.” While mankind refuses to address the most important needs on that list, someone has at least solved the last one. A gamer modded a Joy-Con grip to double as a container for fries. And yes, it can also be attached to the screen while you play.

GamiFries is the clever invention of Maker World user7R135. The red plastic mold looks like a certain fast food chain’s container of fries. But it becomes a unique combo meal when attached to a Nintendo Switch 2. A real container of fast food French fries then slides right in. You can use it as the middle for the left and right sides of the controller, or you can attach it next to the screen itself.

This creation (which we first learned about at Kotaku) solves a problem that has plagued scientists and engineers alike for generations. We now have a way to play a handheld game while also noshing on a greasy snack, all without making a mess of our controller.

You do that by….uh. Huh. Maybe…maybe you pick up the fries with your mouth or something? That would work, right? Yeah, let’s roll with that.

If you literally want to do just that and have a 3D printer and magnets, user7R135 uploaded the schematics so you could make your very own GamiFries. And why wouldn’t you? All of us, no matter where we live and game, have certain things we need to live. Now that we can play the Nintendo Switch 2 and eat French fries at the same time we can all worry about the other ones.
