Is it normal to lick the yoghurt off the lid

[RiotC]

At the dinner table/in front of people.

Maybe people will be a bit more reserved at a dinner table with company but I'd guess the vast majority of people do it when enjoying a yoghurt by themselves.

My DH does it and I hate, I've also literally just told him that is completely absurd how often I have to say the sentence stop drinking your fking crisps!

Yes of course I lick the lid in my own home, with my family. Probably wouldn't with anyone else.

I can't understand why people find it disgusting? It's not very polite obviously, but it's just the wrapper.

Its really normal 😂

I went on a date years ago with a man who picked up his plate and licked it in a restaurant, this was after he'd sucked the bone from his lamb chops dry.. I declined a second date 🤮

I don’t understand. How do you drink crisps?

I haven't read the whole thread but I'd say it becomes abnormal when you start making patterns and trying to create numbers or letters before disposing of it. Or if you made appreciative noises.
I don't like how much time I've spent thinking about lid licking.

I guess when people tip the crumbs into their mouth!

That’s not drinking. Or unacceptable, really.

My 4yo likes to share hers with the cat. Do I win on grossness?!

Lid yoghurt is the best. I'd be offended in any setting from Buckingham Palace to the local bus stop if I saw someone discard a yoghurt lid without licking it. And I'm not sorry and I will never change my mind.

Of course - "Licking the lid of life". But I also lick gravy off my plate which grosses my teens out (which is satisfying in itself). I will not waste delicious gravy.

Of course. I was a bit disappointed yesterday when I opened the lid so perfectly there was no yoghurt on the lid

Yes. My cat will do that in front of anyone, VIP or not.

I suppose in the classic MN vein 'have you sought therapy for this'

Its definitely you and not the lid lickers that have the problem.

I tend to suck a lolly rather than lick it

Food waste is bad, therefore wasting the lovely thick lid yoghurt is also bad. Does the badness outweigh the rudeness of sticking your tongue out in public? I think we need one of those TikTok etiquette experts to weigh in.

Possibly the answer is that if presented with a pot of yoghurt with the lid still on at a fancy dinner party I would scrape off as much as I could with my spoon. It's not a dilemma I've ever come across, fortunately.

You tip the packet straight into your mouth. I 'drink' Wotsits. That way I don't get cheesy orange fingers! I only eat them in private though, as am aware this is questionable behaviour.

That’s not drinking. It’s tipping into your mouth.

I do and I don't care who see's me.

Of course not, as the King, he’d have first dibs!

I'd use a spoon. Licking makes me cringe

DH always hands me his Muller lid.

he knows there'd be hell to pay if he didn't.

big cartons of Rachel's - probably the t-spoon would have to administered if people are over to stay.

home alone - sluuuuurrrrrrrp

I always think this. Are you that desperately hungry that you have to lick yoghurt off the wrapper? Makes me feel ill.

I would do it in front of everyone.
best bits are on lid and round the top edges, thick bits mmm
