Oh thank God for that study, now I know that all the tuition increases were well worth it.

A$$man: Oh thank God for that study, now I know that all the tuition increases were well worth it.

Hey, A$$man!

They need to perform a followup and study the effect of turning objects around so that non-bitten sides get dipped.

That's why my secret salsa ingredient is a half a cup of "Purell Hand Sanitizer".

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.

Ok. What does that mean? Is that a lot? Unless someone is sick, I don't think it matters. If someone was sick, I wouldn't want them sharing food with me in the first place, even without double dipping.

This is why I never eat free "Bar Food".

Germs! They's coming to kill you allllll!!!ONEHUNDREDANDELEVEN!!!!

Man up.

That's like putting your whole mouth in the dip.

I'm currently attending Clemson and double dipping my cheese fries and shrimp, so...

I put my hand upon your hip
When I dip you dip we dip
You put your hand upon my hip
When you dip I dip we dip
I put my hand upon your hip
When I dip you dip we dip
You put yours and I put mine
And we can get down low
And roll it round

/old skool, yo

Holy focking shiite!1!!! Fifty bacterias! We're all going to die!!!

So if I'm married to the person I double dip with, then what? That isn't the only thing getting dipped. They need to turn that study around and get a different perspective.

I would so double dip Angelina Jolie if yah know what I mean, we can "share bacteria" all night long. (while watching the Super bowl)

/is Angelina Jolie still hot, not keeping up with celebrities

Good to see some quality research coming out of clemson...
/ Used to play golf in the old dorm hallways up there. The walls were metal and made ALOT of noise when hit with a golfball...

But how much bacteria do you transfer to the other chips as you rummage through the bowl?

/does not double dip
/is lady like, yeah right.

Clearly with an eye on igNobel glory...

CravenMorehead, thank you...that's exactly what I came here to see!

French kiss.

Oh please. It's not that big of a deal unless you're sick.
People who get upset about double dipping are paranoid and uptight.

Workplace keyboards probably put this "double dip" theory to shame.

Golden_Eternity: They need to perform a followup and study the effect of turning objects around so that non-bitten sides get dipped.

hum... but when you turn the chip around, some part you touched with your dirty peener touching, nut scratching anus whiping fingers will probably dip into the dip... you could spread fecal matter, hepatitus, semen, urine, crabs, warts, herpes... OH MY!!

McKeesport Beer Baron: Good to see some quality research coming out of clemson...

Nah, low rises were where it was at. We played bowling in the hallways, but instead of using pins, we would get drunk and draw pins at the end of the hallway and just throw the bowling ball into the wall. Our hall put a record 37 holes in the wall just in front of six dorms.

I think I still have flashbacks from the night I saw Pink Floyd in Clemson May 12th '94. I probably did some douple dipping that night..

I'd like to see a study on eating pastries out of the garbage can if they're above the cylinder.

Double Dip?

EVERYONE PANIC!11!1!!

TFA says 50-100 bacteria can be transmitted per dipped chip. A quick bit of googling shows that hundreds of thousands of bacteria take up as much space as the period at the end of this sentence. Somehow, I'm not too worried. The human body contains billions of bacteria at any given time.

libbyshome: French kiss.

Quite right, it would be like an indirect french kiss.

So pucker up sweetie *MAWH*

Am I the only one who thinks that society's germophobia is going to ridiculous lengths? Or that maybe our immune systems could benefit from a bit more exercise?

Oh, Fark...
I meant
Double Dip?

I just love how every year around this time we get the "Super Bowl Science". They research the kinda stuff that might apply to your Super Bowl party. What the best beer is, optimal distance from your television to couch, the science of double dipping, the most healthy party foods, etc. Every year from late January to February it's the same thing.

A little Lysol® in the dip will cure that fast.

*Sorry BWF, but ethyl alcohol in salsa just doesn't have the right eeew factor.*

We got a bite!
We got a bite!

CravenMorehead posted what I wanted. Nothing else to see here.

or money, or atm's, or shopping carts, or anything you eat that has been touched by a human or grown in cow poop, or air, or ice, or animals, or door handles, or toilet handles, or....

Damn, littlett's, can I get one of those?

Bill_Wick's_Friend: That's why my secret salsa ingredient is a half a cup of "Purell Hand Sanitizer".

i chuckled out loud. it was a borderline laugh. good work, friend of bill w.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

OMG! LOL! Seinfeld references! LOL!

littlett's: libbyshome: French kiss.

i was gonna say, why don't we all skip the chips and just make out.

This is what the alcohol is for.

I worked as a bank teller for a while. One of the things that the bank supplied to us was hand sanitizer to clean with after handling money. They gave us info on the amount of bacteria present, but I have no idea where I would have put it.

50 to 100 bacteria? That's nothing.

burndtdan- wait your turn...

What about people reaching /sharing a bag of chips...

Did they wash their hands?
Do they some skin disease like eczema?
or..?

/equally as nasty

Car_Ramrod: Ok. What does that mean? Is that a lot? Unless someone is sick, I don't think it matters. If someone was sick, I wouldn't want them sharing food with me in the first place, even without double dipping.

Exactly and what was the control?

How many germs, if any do, you deposit just by you grubby hands touching the chip in the first place?

Based on the article summary of the paper that I skimmed I give them all F's and the funding of the school to be returned.

I'd worry less about bacteria and more about viral contamination. All it takes is one ill jackass ...

FTA: Despite George's dismissal of the idea that double dipping could transfer bacteria, the results of the study show otherwise:


Point of order - George didn't dismiss the idea; he just didn't care.

If you take two girls with one cup, how many germs would...
