My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

I get told off by the wifefor tipping my head back and pouring the last of the crisps in the packet straight in. I reckon this is a practical thing and not common at all.
I also do it with gravy in a tray, milk in cereal and I have been known to lick the plate, too.

Ah butdo you open the packet out flat, and lick the semi-invisible flavour specks remaining after you've tipped the last of the crispy bits down your throat?

These thingsare the right and proper ways of maximising the value from each snack/meal.
Don't be deterred.

efficientnot common. Does everyone do it? no. They just haven't thought about it because they can't think.
