Dip Once or Dip Twice?

Dip Once or Dip Twice? takes a look at the etiquette and food safety issues involved in dipping a chip back into the dip after you’ve already dipped once and bitten off a piece (double dipping).
This is going to be interesting dinner table discussion when the family gets together. My entire family is double dippers and at least at home, I am too.

I come from a LONG line of double-dippers myself, but this issue is big enough to spark an entire Seinfeld episode…(not that it takes much, but still…)
Caitlin: You made me laugh as much as the Seinfeld reference. Who DDs more, your mom or dad?
By the way, I’ve already had “words” with Anne about this; my guess is she’ll now be triple dipping and sticking her tongue out at me.
Indiana - she beats all of us by dipping, practically licking it off, and then dipping again. She can dip a chip maybe 4 times before it’s gone completely. Gross, but family’s family, I guess.
Anne would give Indiana a run for her money. Erin would out-dip them all.
Do you remember the story of Indiana checking out Dorothy Pierce’s “petit fours?”
Your mother caught her picking each one up, inspecting it (and no doubt wrecking it) and putting it down to move on to the next. By the time your mother found her all of the petit fours were “inspected.”
Hmmm, I don’t even remember the petit fours one. Are we branching into what gets dipped into what? Indiana wins that one, too–bacon dipped in her orange juice. Actually, I’ll be honest, she’s actually a total raccoon when it comes to dipping.
Laurie: How do raccoons dip?
