Though finger-licking is a common approach to doing it, it is very unhygienic, and especially so during a pandemic. Think about it. You’ve been touching the shopping cart that hasn’t seen a sanitizer in heaven knows how long, the products that other people have touched repeatedly, as well as produce that hasn’t been washed yet. At this point, licking your fingers to open a plastic bag is like asking to get sick and spread germs. So what do you do?
