I never have seen that, but don't know why it would be necessary since the
bags are marked *open here* and come open easily without licking fingers.
Geez.

Some don't open easily IME. I crunch them and they separate.
Finger licking seems to be a reflex action for some.

I remember by grandfather liking his fingers. It was as if he was
savoring the remnants of a wonderful feast. He actually made a bit of a
production of it and I tend to associate it with a great meal. My
younger brother is absolutely disgusted by finger licking.
