Double Dip Your Chips for the SuperBowl Party
You remember the Seinfeld episode where Costanza blatantly flaunts the fact that he is double dipping his chips into the party dip? Some clueless frat boys at Clemson, having recently watched a Seinfeld marathon on their local UPN affiliate, decided to use that episode as their thesis paper so they can graduate and have something to show for having wasted 4 years’ worth of their parents’ money on tuition.
That Times story is here. SoGoodBlog has this to say about it:
“On average, the students found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip. Each cracker picked up between one and two grams of dip. That means that sporadic double dipping in a cup of dip would transfer at least 50 to 100 bacteria from one mouth to another with every bite.”
