Do You Lick The Lid Of Life?

[lupestripe]

Well, do you?

No, I chuck it in the bin.

[tr-wolf.livejournal.com]

As do I.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

As is that :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Sharp and to the point I guess lols.

[blacksnip.livejournal.com]

I try to!

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Hmm, this implies that you occasionally fail or find it difficult to lick the lid of life. Is it a tongue length thing :P

[blacksnip.livejournal.com]

Nope- horses have very big tongues...

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking. So how come you often struggle to lick the lid of life? Don't you like the flavour or something?

[fen-ra.livejournal.com]

I French-kiss it. ^^

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Doesn't that get a bit messy? And what happens if you accidentally swallow a bit of foil?

[schnee.livejournal.com]

No. c.c Do you?

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Licking yoghurt lids is one of those weird things that I have an irrational hatred of. I find it ick. I don't know why.

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Wait, are we talking about the Lid Of Life (whatever that is) or the lids of yoghurt cups?

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Double meaning really. In the UK Muller have an ad campaign whose slogan is "Do you Lick the Lid of Life". In combination with happy people eating healthily, the double meaning is do you seize every opportunity in your life.

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Oh, OK. :)

(As for yoghurt cup lids, I do lick those, yes. ^^ I love yoghurt - most dairy products, actually - and I don't want to waste any of it. :))

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

I can't do the licky thing, makes me ick really. Would happily scrape some off with a spoon though - as I was doing with my Cherry flavoured Muller Light yoghurt in the pub on Monday evening :)

[schnee.livejournal.com]

I used to use a spoon, but found that I always miss some that way.

Out of curiosity, why don't you like licking the lids? Is it that the lid is something you don't want touching your tongue (due to feeling that it's "dirty", perhaps, or because of the possibility of cutting yourself), or is it that your tongue is something you don't want touching the lid (maybe because you don't want to get spit on it), or is it because it's something one "just doesn't do", or...?

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

I think it's got something to do with the smell of saliva. I imagine how smelly the lid has become and it makes me queasy. Also the sight of streak marks caused by the tongue on the lid makes me feel a bit odd too. I accept it's an odd one.

I have just had a Muller Rice. I managed to remove all the rice from the lid with the spoon :)

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Saliva has a smell? Wow, I never knew.

Anyhow, Müller Milchreis? Those are tasty. :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Stale saliva definitely has a smell - it's horrible *shudders*

Ah yes, Muller Milchreis. I accidentally chose it instead of a yoghurt. I'm glad I did *wags* - haven't had one in ages. It was very nice :)

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yeah, well, when it's stale, it does... but I always throw away the lids after licking them clean, so I never notice.

And yes, it is, isn't it? ^.^ *hands you a ¨ * ^^

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it is, it's one of those deep sub-conscious things I guess. It just makes me feel queasy. Odd I know.

Thanks hun *hugs* - had a Muller Light yoghurt this evening - Lemon & Passionfruit limited edition. It was quite nice - but not as nice as yesterday's Muller Rice :(

[schnee.livejournal.com]

*noddles and hugs* I think you need more ¨'s. ;)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I should get shares in Muller - I am buying a lot of them at the moment. May treat myself to a Muller Rice tomorrow - it is Friday after all...

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, maybe.

Why, what's special about Friday?

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It's the end of the week, time to let one's fur down (although as I work Saturdays I guess nothing is that special about Fridays *sigh*).

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Didn't have one in the end - had a muffin instead :)

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Muffins are nice, too. :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Very nice with melted butter on top *wags*

[schnee.livejournal.com]

Depending on the kind of muffin you're looking at, probably. :)

[rainbow-lioness.livejournal.com]

No but my cat Maven does.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

So your cat licks the lid of life? Does he enjoy it?

[avon-deer.livejournal.com]

I suck the creamy goodness off it. :D

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Ooh the double entrendres. I like muchly. How much cream do you often get?

[avon-deer.livejournal.com]

A nice layering about 4mm deep usually.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

That's some good layering - and about as much snow it takes for Network Rail to implode in on itself.

[hyperx.livejournal.com]

I just toss the whole thing, as it has turned sour ;P

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

How long do you leave it out for?

[hyperx.livejournal.com]

29... almost 30 years ;P

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

That's quite a while - I'm surprised it hasn't curdled and walked off on its own accord...

[hyperx.livejournal.com]

It has tried it before, but I am hoping it will eventually turn to cheese ;)

[alexf0x.livejournal.com]

I scrape it off with a spoon.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Good idea - that's what I do. I just can't stand all that lick.

[rma-reborn.livejournal.com]

I always lick the lid - every last drop off it!

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Eiw ick - use a spoon man :P

[rma-reborn.livejournal.com]

Weakling! Licking the lid is far more manly! :P

[metamorphosys.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what that implies :) I hope all is good with you. Take care.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

It has a double meaning - do you lick the yoghurt off yoghurt pot lids and relatedly, do you take hold of life and enjoy it?
