Is it normal to lick the yoghurt off the lid

[RiotC]

At the dinner table/in front of people.

In front of family - yes
In front of invited guests - no

I’d probably do it in front of my family at the table.
But not in front of say…King Charles.

First reply nails it.

Unless invited guests are also extended family in which case still fine.

I’d use a spoon but if I wanted to get rid of unwanted guests for good then I might lick it slowly while making eye contact.

No it's revolting, not normal.

If yoghurt is being eaten out of a pot in front of 'guests', Im guessing this isnt some posh dinner party and therefore lid licking is perfectly normal and acceptable.

In fact I would expect it so that it makes the disposing of the pot as clean as possible.

Who eats a yogurt in front of guests?

in front of family - scrape with a spoon.

It's fine if you a school teacher in a school according to the Muller advert. If I knew someone well enough to invite them round my house, then I'd probably lick a yoghurt lid if I wanted to.

No it’s grim

Yes, agree. If my mum was invited she’d tell me off for leaving good yogurt on the lid.

I use my spoon to scrape the lid if I'm eating in front of people who might be affronted by lid licking.

Not missing out on that liddy goodness.

I wouldn't blink if King Charles licked his lid in front of me.

I do it if I'm on my own.

😆

I don’t tend to invited guests over and offer yogurts, no, but I can imagine being with guests at breakfast time where yogurt may be on offer. See also hotels.

Why is it ‘grim’ or ‘revolting’?

Why is it ‘grim’?

You lick ice cream off a wooden stick. 🤷‍♀️

I happened to be licking a lid in the privacy of my own kitchen as son turned up for something or other and told me he couldn’t believe that he’d just seen me lick a yogurt lid.
He’s always been a bit fussy 🤣

Lots of male guests would probably interpret that as a come on.

I let my 5yo old do it (at home). For adults I except them to scrape it with a spoon.

If someone is eating dinner in my house then I’m comfortable enough with them to lick my damn yoghurt lid. Tea with the Queen is a little different.

I don't anymore - just easier and cleaner to throw it away or scrape it with my spoon into the pot. It's one of the ways that I know I'm now a Proper Grown-Up.

Absolutely not! I find it really disgusting.

Massive ick

The Muller advert qualifies for the running in ‘most annoying advert of all time’, imo. Not sure why but it irritates me.
