Did You Just Double-Dip?
AdventureDad | February 3
The big day is here for all football fans, Super Bowl 2008. Highlight of the year for many and often one hell of a party. Which brings up the debate of double dipping. As one hangs around the chips area with a beer, is it appropriate to double-dip? Do you double-dip? If you’re a Seinfeld fan you might remember the famous episode from 1993 (#59 The Implant) involving George:
TIMMY: What are you doing?
GEORGE: What?
TIMMY: Did…did you just double-dip that chip?
GEORGE: Excuse me?
TIMMY: You double-dipped the chip!
GEORGE: “Double-dipped”? What are you talking about?
TIMMY: You dipped the chip. You took a bite.
And you dipped again.
GEORGE: So…?
TIMMY: That’s like putting your whole mouth right in the dip! From now on, when you take a chip - just take one dip and end it!
I guess I’m guilty myself of double dipping every now and then, apparently it’s not a good idea as articles in New York Times and USA Today point out. They liken it to “kissing everyone at the party” which doesn’t sound so bad to me. Double dipping might not be alright but one has probably not had enough alcohol to drink if that is a big worry during Super Bowl.
As a former resident of NYC I would love to see the Giants win but I think it would be cooler if the Patriots take it. Going undefeated a whole season is as you know very uncommon. Maybe I should refer to the teams as my football crazy Latin wife does. Los Gigantes de Nueva York contra Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra. Sure sounds different watching football with Latins.
Catching these games over in Europe is kind of a challenge because of the time change. The game starts at midnight and ends at 04.30 am. Staying awake at that time will require a screaming baby or a large amount of beer. Lets hope for the latter.
Best of luck to your favorite team.
I don’t get it. Just break the chip in half.
I double dip only when munching alone. But I do it creatively and only with pretzels. When I dip my Herr Pretzels in my French Onion Dip, I dip once, bite, then flip and dip the other end and continue eating the rest of the pretzel. When I do this I am sure not to contaminate the virgin end with my first bite, because then the flip and dip would be not. My reason for doing only when alone, is my kiddos, our house rule is “NO DOUBLE DIPPING”, this alleviates any unnecessary confusion. Just to clear up I always open a fresh tub of dip if visitors come just to be on the up and up. LoL
