  Maybe if you shared the same spoon with your parents, you could keep the dining table clean as well?

  No. you stand a chance of contracting disease that can be spread by blood exchange or body fluid exchange. Chances increase especially when gum bleeding and mouth ulcers are involve.

  We never know if the straws we use to drink our beverages were picked up from the floor on which the stall attendant had accidentally dropped them.
