Is licking the yogurt lid really awful?

[DateandTime]

I was raised in a real waste not want not household. I was taught that when eating a yogurt, you lick the lid to avoid wasting any. In the days when lids were foil you had to be careful not to cut your tounge, I was taught that too! I've always thought this was normal and what everyone does.

Just today, for some reason I've wondered if it might not be the done thing in the staffroom?!

Tell a lie - you got Transparency from yogurt lids

From now on I'm going to offer to lick other people's yogurt lids

Why not take the yoghurt off with a spoon?

It's horrible to see. Just use a spoon to scrape it off.

The person who said it reflects your background

I'm quite sure there are lid lickers in all echelons of society.

If it's the inside of the lid and done in your own home - not a problem.
If it's in the queue at the supermarket - you might be considered a little "odd"

I wouldn’t do it in front of others but in private I’m definitely a lid licker.

Ok to do at home, not great to do in public.

Absolutely fine at home but I wouldn't do it in public. I don't think I would bat an eyelid if I saw someone doing it though...just couldn't get myself worked up over something like that

Yes.

It’s the worst.

It makes me ever so slightly vomity

But then I'm also not at all happy about the disgusting ring of gunk at the top of the pot either which I try very carefully to remove without it touching the rest before I can eat it.

Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of yogurt if I'm honest.
