"DoubleDipping" news and stories

Admit it. You've spread 10,000 bacteria

seinfeld double dipping episodeLet's hope that at whatever Super Bowl party you were yesterday, you didn't go anywhere near the salsa, guacamole, hummus, or anything that has a last name of "Dip." If you did, let's hope that the only other guests with you were your immediate family, or people with who you don't mind sharing...10,000 bacteria.

In a study done at Clemson University, research students found that "three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater's mouth to the remaining dip."

That, my Slashfoodie friends, is disgusting.
