Don’t double dip that chip
Last year the food microbiologist’s undergraduate students [at Clemson University] examined the effects of double dipping using volunteers, wheat crackers and several sample dips. They found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from an eater’s mouth to the remaining dip sample.”I like to say it’s like kissing everybody at the party — if you’re double dipping, you’re putting some of your bacteria in that dip,” Dawson said.
Nothing really surprising there… but it does remind most of us of a hilarious Seinfeld clip. Classic!
Make sure you watch the dip at your SuperBowl party… actually, might be best to just stick with the chili.
