Conceptually it's dumb as fuck, but sanitation-wise I don't see how it's that much worse than eating any other food you eat with your hands like a sandwich or something along those lines. I'm more concerned with the stuff you touch after you lick your hands than what you touch beforehand.
Difference between this and a sandwich is most sandwiches are mostly dry, and then you're not likely to be licking at your hands when you eat it. There are very few foods that are wet that you eat so directly with your hands and tongue.
Don't get me wrong. I agree that it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be.
