Licking Lids

Do you have the impulse to do this, too? Every time I take the lid off of a yogurt I have to lick the lid. I feel really cheated when someone else opens the yogurt for me and then takes the lid and throws it away, or worse: they lick it themselves. I feel like sometimes the best part of eating a yogurt is licking the lid.

I find myself licking the lids from other food products, too. Just today, when I was feeding the baby, I found myself using my pinkie to to take the little bit of food off of the lid. It was surprisingly delicious (it was the apple flavor). I tried to lick the aluminum lid that seals the peanut butter inside the container, but that didn't work too well. The peanut butter was too thick so I had to lick it about 10 times to make a dent. Then I got frustrated and threw the lid away. I made a mistake once of licking the lid from sour cream. I wasn't thinking too clearly when I did it--it was just a habit. I definitely won't be making that mistake again any time soon.
