"That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip!" George Costanza was admonished on the show after he dipped a chip twice at a wake. That's not too far off, said Clemson University professor Paul L. Dawson. Last year the food microbiologist's undergraduate students 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 was very surprised by the results," Dawson said in a telephone interview Thursday. "I thought there would be very minimal transfer. I didn't think we would be able to detect it." The professor said the students' research didn't get into the risk behind such a bacteria transfer, but they got the idea. "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. The results of the research are scheduled to be published in the journal Food Safety within the next six months, he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 There's a strategy behind double dipping. You don't just bite and then re-dip. Thats just nasty and it doesn't pick up maximum salsa. Take for an example a Tostito chip. It has 3 corners. You dip one corner in the salsa, get some out and take a bite. Then you TURN THE CHIP AROUND to another corner and repeat. Those other corners don't have any salava on there yet so they're fair game. If you're using pringles then you only get two dips, but its a similar procedure. People need to learn how to double dip effectively! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
