Lid-Licker!

[Million]

So, I was "caught"(I didn't really try to hide it) licking the lid of a yoghurt by a co-worker at work. It was lunch time and she called me out for it. "Oh, so you're a lid-licker. Good to know." I generally use the spoon that comes with the yoghurt, but if there is one of the kinds that doesn't come with a spoon, I lick it.

So what I then started to think of is; What does it mean to be a lid-licker? Is it a good thing, or bad thing? Does it have to mean anything at all? I guess my reasoning would be; It's food on the lid too. Why throw away perfectly eatable food?
It's against everything I've been raised to behave(I was raised to be a noble, and thus, licking a lid would be vulgar and yoghurts should be served in their own dessert bowls etc etc)

I once folded the lid in half and used it in lieu of a spoon...

Typically my lids go to my cats, though.

My mother would yell at me for licking the lids of things. Or anything else I attempted to lick that had food on it. Minus an ice cream cone!
I guess she viewed it as bad manners.

If the food is good enough, I want more so I will lick the lid, and the damned container if I didn't get my fill! D<

I am a self-hating lid licker. I publicly judge those who lick lids as slobs who are uncouth and should be shunned, but I lick lids myself in private.

How curious... I would say I am the same as you. Judging others who lick lids, but licking them in "private". At least that is how I was raised..
