Timmy Was Right: No Double Dipping

The study, to be published later this year in the Journal of Food Safety, is the only one I’ve ever seen to proclaim that it was inspired by an episode of “Seinfeld.” It was conducted as part of a Clemson University program designed to get undergraduate students involved in scientific research. Prof. Paul L. Dawson, a food microbiologist, proposed it after he saw a rerun of a 1993 “Seinfeld” show in which George Costanza is confronted at a funeral reception by Timmy, his girlfriend’s brother, after dipping the same chip twice.

“Did, did you just double dip that chip?” Timmy asks incredulously, later objecting, “That’s like putting your whole mouth right in the dip!” Finally George retorts, “You dip the way you want to dip, I’ll dip the way I want to dip,” and aims another used chip at the bowl. Timmy tries to take it away, and the scene ends as they wrestle for it.


See the link for details, but Timmy was correct, or, George was wrong. That shouldn't be a surprise.

germs never hurt anybody. besides, you're already reaching into a bowl where several other hands have been in order to get the chip in the first place
 
That which does not kill you makes you stronger. Double dip, double dip from an early age and bring in the kids when you double dip. That's why I'm immune to almost all germs.
