On episode 24 of the Dear Hank and John podcast, someone asked about the best way to hold a chip while eating. This led to a discussion of whether or not it was appropriate to lick your fingers while eating flavored potato chips (a notion John was firmly against). This discussion led me to post a survey to the Nerdfighters reddit page as well as to r/samplesize (a page devoted to posting and participating in surveys), which asked whether people lick their fingers while they are eating flavored chips and whether they lick their fingers after they have finished. Below are my results:

Pretty amazingly the results came out almost at a completely even split. About 51.5% of respondents lick their fingers while eating flavored potato chips. As for after respondents have finished eating:

About 88.3% of respondents lick their fingers after they are finished! Sorry John, but it looks like if you want people to stop licking their fingers, you’ve got a lot of work ahead of you.
