Useful to stir with, so I don't waste a spoon or a stirring stick.
Keeps my lips and areas around my mouth clean, so I don't waste a napkin.
Don't have to put my lips on the cup/glass, so more sanitary if eating/drinking out.
- callalex 3y ago>so more sanitary if eating/drinking out Wait have you ever gotten an illness that was attributed to a rim of a beverage glass that wasn’t also present in the rest of the beverage?
- em-bee 3y agoi suppose that it is theoretically possible that someone drinking from a glass/cup leaves something sticking to the rim that does not get cleaned off. but if i would take this consideration seriously then my conclusion would be to not consume anything at this place rather than assuming that the rim of a glass is the only place that is less likely to be clean.
- Dalewyn 3y agoWhat's most likely is a poorly trained waiter/waitress uses an eagle claw grab to hold the glass as it's moved and served. That means their fingers, god knows where they've been, touch the rim of the glass I am about to sip from. I've seen this happen everywhere from the cheapest joint to the poshest of posh establishments that I view it as simple inevitability so long as humans are involved in serving.
- distances 3y agoFrankly, to me it sounds a bit excessive to worry about such things. We live in a very sterile society to start with, so I see no reason to take any extra precautions. I wash my own hands and don't think what others are doing with theirs.
- em-bee 3y agoI don't waste a spoon or a stirring stick but you waste a straw instead. i don't see any net benefit wrt this particular aspect
