Ridiculous topic? Perhaps, but it is one that has been plaguing me for a long time. The question is simple — Do you lick the yogurt off the foil before you throw it out? — but the ramifications in dramaland are huge.
I’ve seen this discussed, noticed, and referred to in several dramas, but when Yumi’s Cells 2 had a whole plot point around it, it really started to bug me. In Yumi’s Cells 2, our heroine is suspicious that her perfect boyfriend Bobby may in fact be a chaebol heir. *GASP*
In order to covertly uncover the truth, she resorts to the age-old test: the licking of the yogurt foil. If he doesn’t lick it and merely throws away the three grams of yogurt on the foil, he’s a lofty chaebol. But if he licks it, he’s a good-hearted commoner like the rest of us. Well, Yumi’s plan goes up in smoke, because Bobby doesn’t lick the foil… but Bobby also isn’t a chaebol heir.
Quirky humor aside, I can’t stop wondering if this is actually a thing. I began to overthink my own yogurt consumption. Confession: I have never once licked the foil on my yogurt, nor do I plan to start. But I’m also the farthest thing from a chaebol heiress. So… what say you? Is there any meaningful correlation between yogurt foil licking and one’s bank account? Social strata? Personality type? I need to know.
Over to you, Beanies!
Do you lick the foil on your yogurt? Does this truly signify something about your innate character traits and/or expected family inheritance?
