  Like Bear said, the best part Can’t tell you why but the experience is incomplete with out the lid-licking.

  eick, you perv…

  It taste great. And its part of what u payed for. Its not like you are sharing the lid with someone or putting it back on.

  @ shatraw I beg to differ that licking anything is gross

  How can you not lick the lid? It tastes better that way.

  @Antonio

  fair enough, you dog you!

  licking MOST things is gross… and certainly anything made out of cheap plastic or *shudder* metal that has crusty bacteria caked on it.

  What? I paid for the yogurt and I wanna get the most out of it. Heck I’d lick the bottom of the cup if my tongue were long enough.

• 11 Cary // Jun 2, 2009 at 3:49 pm

  Nate, you just horrified the lick out of me.

• 12 shatraw // Jun 3, 2009 at 8:55 am

  please, the “I paid for it” rationale is a joke, considering how much perfectly usable waste most people produce.

  and please don’t tell me how good you are at using every part of the buffalo — so to speak.

  This whole thing is gross.

  How much does a freaking yogurt cost that you need to “get your moneys” worth by licking the lid? Consider it a sunk cost and buy a new one.

  @Skiff – AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

  The real question is:

  Do you lick your lid in public?

  I think lid licking is gross, came on here to see if anyone else was grossed out by it ! – Andy – 23 – Scotland

  I personally think licking the lid is disgusting, there is just something really unappealing about it, to me the ‘skin’ of yoghurt that forms is horrible and just looks like the yoghurt has gone off.
  I also cannot stand when people eat the yoghurt bits that have stuck to the rim of the yoghurt, you know what I mean, its the same stuff that’s on the lid.

  Anyway my point shared I HATE with a passion that part of the yoghurt and anyone that chooses to partake in eating it!

  Just a little information for all those who like to lick the lid. (I used to be one of them)
  By law the manufacturers cannot put any preservatives in the yogurt, however the law does not restrict them from applying a layer preservative on to the inside of the lid which in turn helps keep the yogurt longer on the shelves.
  When you lick that yummy part of the yogurt, you also lick quite a bit of harmful preservatives.
  Simply peel off the lid and toss it!

  [...] The subject of many emails from health and calorie-counting guru Hungry Girl, Greek yogurt, along with almonds, avocado and hummus, seems to be joining the ranks of those wow-I-can-look-cosmopolitan-and-stay-healthy foods so popular with mid-to-upper class women suburbanites these days. While demographically these women may seem classy, you have to wonder how many of them still lick their yogurt lids. [...]
