I NEVER lick my fingers, especially in a grocery store after I have been handling the cart, meat packaging, and other unknown and unseen microorganisms for the last 30 minutes or so. If I'm in the produce section, I touch a piece of wet produce to moisten my finger tips and open the produce bag. If I'm checking out, I either touch some moist produce in my cart, or hold a small section of the bag opening area taunt and wiggle it back and forth until that section becomes separated. I then blow on it; creating a small opening to work with. I have also used the "pull the handles apart" method. If I cannot get the bag open, I go for the paper bags. Licking your fingers is the fastest way to spread germs and get sick! ❤
