Do you lick the bag?

[Perfection]

When you make microwave popcorn do you lick the salty buttery residue left on the bag?

 

[Mr. Dictator]

I'm more prone to scraping my fingernails (outside, not inside, eww) in the bag and then licking it off my fingers.

Hmm...tough one. Should this be in "Ask a most pointless question" thread?

No, it's completely nonpointless. I'm curious as to the extent which other people do this.

 

[Birdjaguar]

It never has even crossed my mind to do so.

This. I've never even heard of anyone doing this until now

 

[7ronin]

There are people who actually do this? Amazing. By the way, I saw the title, was lured on in by thoughts of various degrees of bad and unsavory scenarios only to find out that it's about popcorn.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I make my popcorn in a pot on my stove.

But I probably wouldn't if I used microwave popcorn.

 

[Birdjaguar]

We can't go there 7ronin.....

 

[azzaman333]

Nope, by the time I'd get to the point where I'd consider it I'm generally satisfied with the amount of salty buttery goodness I've had.

 

[warpus]

I don't lick things

I'm intrigued by the idea of bagged popcorn. Or microwaved popcorn, for that matter. I make popcorn in a popcorn making machine. And I don't lick that out.

 

[Mango Elephant]

No, I'd get fat if I did that. Not that I eat popcorn, anyways, unless I'm at the movies.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I don't do that, no. Isn't it entirely like fat, cholesterol, dye, and carcinogens?

 

[holy king]

lovely, tasty carcinogens.

 

[jtb1127]

I think it' gross to do so.

Last time I looked at microwave popcorn, all of the brands had over the daily recommended transfats. And since transfats are one of those foods that can cause permanent injury, I avoid them.

I scrap the icecream from the ice-cream lid, though. And I lick the tomato paste from the lid of the tomato paste can.

 

[NickyJ]

I find microwave popcorn to be not as good as 'popcorn popper' popcorn, so I'll go with the redacted joke.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Licking it is an extremely inefficient means of obtaining butter and salt residue. I scrape it with my (clean) fingernails.

And I lick the tomato paste from the lid of the tomato paste can.

Sounds like a good way to slice your tongue.

 

[Perfection]

I chew my fingernails.
