Probably every kid on the planet who ever asked their mother if they
could lick the spoon/beaters. They're all dead now, don'tcha know.

Somehow, I survived. We (my brother, sister and I) always argued about who
got to lick the beaters, the spoon, or the spatula. Of course, there really
were some salmonella cases a few years ago (mostly in the northeast, I
think), but it is rare.
