Random things I think about- Yoplait Pink lids

So as I'm licking the pink lid of my Yoplait yogurt today, something occurs to me. This is utterly disgusting. I mean, the idea of sending in the lids and Yoplait donating 10 cents for each lid for breast cancer awareness is awesome... but even on the commercials, the women are licking the lids and then putting them in envelopes. How gross. I wonder who opens the letters. Do they wear gloves? With this swine flu scare going around, who would want that job? On second thought, with the economy the way it is, I'm sure many people would take that job...

And then I wonder, are there people that actually open up all of those envelopes and count the saliva covered lids? Or does Yoplait just have a set amount of money that they are going to donate regardless of whether or not people actually send the pink tops in? Is it just a ploy to get people to buy their product, under the impression that they are helping by donating money to breast cancer awareness? I applaud Yoplait for what they are doing, but why not just tell everyone when they buy their yogurt, a portion of the money goes to charity?

Yuck... can you imagine being a mail carrier? Thousands of people licking all over those tops before putting them in the envelope... or even without the Yoplait tops, people lick envelopes all the time. Gross..
