Is it normal to lick the yoghurt off the lid

[RiotC]

At the dinner table/in front of people.

I'm 62. Good to know I'm not a Proper Grown-Up yet. I always lick the yoghurt off the lid. Wouldn't do this in front of relative strangers, but then I wouldn't be eating yoghourt out of a pot in front of them anyway.

When I was a schoolkid with flaky teenage 'friends' one of them disowned me for a while for the crime of licking my yoghurt lid in front of her.

What's the context?

Finding it hilarious how many posters find this “disgusting”. I’m guessing eating an ice lolly by licking it is fine but yoghurt lid isn’t? Bonkers.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g being a proper grown up sounds really dull, definitely one to avoid.

Context is I was just a bit grossed out by my husband doing it, but there were no royalty around, just DS had a nice yoghurt after tea and we had one too.
Also, I am easily grossed out and husband reckons that it is perfectly normal, I don't really think it's commonplace in front of people, but maybe I'm just round different people. As with any household difference of opinion I thought Mumsnet would give me a good measure.

I shall avert my eyes and clutch my pearls quietly though, as I think I'm in a minority!

I always lick the yoghurt off the lid - it is the best part of a yoghurt.

I wouldn't be ripping open a yoghurt at a dinner party so the question would never arise. I do it at work most days and nobody has banned me whereas they have banned my peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches, so I know they have no problem telling me I'm making them feel sick.

Yup.

Yes, simple as no explanation need.

I have never not licked the lid and I've eaten yogurts in all different locations and in front of the world. If someone had an issue with this I would think they were joking. Its no different to licking an ice cream.

It's fine, let him lick away. God, if my partner cottoned on to the fact I was disgusted by his yoghurt licking, that would be it. He'd buy the extra thick, creamy ones on purpose.

If king Charles can lick his own lid that's quite a feat.🤔

Why? What’s grim about it?

Why do you expect that?

It is so normal, they've put it in the advert!

It’s the best bit!I have a long standing arrangement with DD1 that every time she eats a yoghurt, she passes me the lid to lick. I can’t quite remember how this started, but I’m quite happy about it.

There is nothing grim or revolting about it.
We lick ice cream out of a cone or from a stick so zero difference.
Obviously we wouldn't be eating yoghurt at a dinner party or at a Royal dinner so the comparisons are unrealistic.
Only here on MN, well that's a whole different scenario.

Only normal if you’re aged five or younger.

At the dinner table / in front of people - absolutely not!

The dog would never forgive me.

Yes. Also my husband is not ‘people’.

Another here who finds it gross! In fact, reading this thread has made me feel yuk.
I don't know why I don't like it, I don't see it as anything like licking an icecream. You're licking a wrapper! A yogurt lid is part of the wrapping. Same as the pot is?
Unless you're licking an icecream wrapper, it's nowhere near the same.
I don't like to see anyone licking wrappers of any kind. No matter what the food is.
It's just as bad as when people lick their plates when they've finished a meal.
🤢

What on earth is wrong with licking yoghurt from a lid? I’m drawing a blank as to how anybody could have an issue with it

My DH does and I hate it. Plenty yog in the pot hun.

I always lick the lid, as do most people I’ve come across. I probably wouldn’t do it in front of certain people but my family/friends, yes. I’m never in a position to be licking yogurt lids in front of anyone else outside of family or friends though 🤣
