Viewing Single Trivia

The SNES, like many electronic devices of its time, had its outer casing made from a type of plastic called acrylonitrite butadiene styrene, or ABS for short. To make the console more fire-resistant, a large amount of bromine (a naturally brown liquid) was added to the ABS mixture. When exposed to ultraviolet light and/or heat, the bromine breaks free to oxidize, causing the normally grey plastic to turn yellow over time.
