Scientific Study: Double Dipping is Gross.
2 Comments Published by Terrace Crawford on 2/15/08 at 6:21 PM.
The study was conducted by Prof. Paul L. Dawson, a food microbiologist, who decided to experiment with "double dipping" after watching a Seinfeld re-run in which a character named "Timmy" objects to George's dubious dipping habits.
His conclusion:
"There were six test dips: sterile water with three different degrees of acidity, a commercial salsa, a cheese dip and chocolate syrup.Word-o-Advice, get your own salsa. Truth be told, I hate sharing because I love double-dippin! :-)
On average, the students found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000bacteria from the eater's mouth to the remaining dip."

When dipping in community salsa I spin my chip around to the side I haven't eaten if I really need to get my double-dip fix on.
I call this practicing "safe Mex."
I do that when I'm forced to share.
