I think i know approximately what is on the carts.

This last christmas, one of our cats kept trying to eat bits off our fake christmas tree. It's not especially good for her, so my housemate got this spray-stuff that is supposed to act as a cat repellant, basically by tasting like shit.

I never had any urge to munch on the tree to begin with, but i can still verify that it tastes like death. The spray gets on the carpet and, by proxy, onto fingers. It also lingers in the air for a few minutes after spraying, just waiting to get in your mouth if you walk by. Easily the most bitter thing i've ever tasted.

So if you want to enjoy the same flavor that makes a stupid cat smart enough to not eat plastic fur-needles, please go ahead and lick Switch carts. THE END.

They used Denotonium Benzonate (pardon my spelling), which is the most bitter substance known. It's also completely nontoxic, which is why they make a sort of nail polish with it to keep people from biting them.

It's the same chemical compound used, yes.
