- farmboymdp, on 02/02/2008, -6/+12610,000 bacteria? Out of what, trillions? Enjoy my spit, losers.
- iRoy, on 02/02/2008, -4/+97People are extremely paranoid about this... Those same bacteria in your mouth also do a good job at fighting off foreign bacteria.
Well unless someone has a cold sore, then everyones day is *****. Gross. - Yanaran, on 02/02/2008, -0/+55"I like to say it's like kissing everybody at the party"
I'm in. - CheeseburgerBro, on 02/02/2008, -1/+50If you can't handle the bacteria from the occasional double-dipped bowl, see your doctor: you have AIDS.
- noeyesface, on 02/02/2008, -0/+49God forbid my immune system be strengthened by exposure necessary for LIFE!
- greenlight2001, on 02/02/2008, -1/+45Everyone realizes that when we're born we have basically a sterile gut right? And we get that bacteria after birth from basically consuming mom's feces, either on the way out, or from her skin (and then through the rest of our lives from other people in various ways). Without this bacteria, we'd die. We are MADE to consume bacteria. It;s been going on for a LONG time. It's not as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. As long as your not going crazy and licking everyone's *****, you have a low risk of permanent long term effects. Double dipping contamination is low risk.

- biggoron318, on 02/02/2008, -0/+31You NEVER go ass to mouth!
- OdepiTy, on 02/02/2008, -2/+30How about the double dip from Seinfeld? hahah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P7pr5whWR4 - Phillyzero, on 02/02/2008, -0/+26So...the picture has a caption: "This photo illustration shows tortilla chips and salsa, in New York, Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008..."
Glad I know that. - ByteGuerilla, on 02/02/2008, -0/+25Then the nature of your Superbowl parties is in question, never mind the double-dipping.
- bugsy187, on 02/02/2008, -2/+27Say I have oral herpes and I double dip. Then I ask the lord to bless the salsa, as you say. Would you eat it?
- IgWannA, on 02/02/2008, -4/+28double dipping is for amateurs. the professional nacho eater gets it right the first time.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 02/02/2008, -0/+24Tomorrow is going to be a bad, bad day for obsessive-compulsives.
- lex0nyc, on 02/02/2008, -5/+25The Indians also (A) didn't dump dioxin into their lakes and streams, (B) were isolated from foreign bacteria that is so present in our world thanks to large human migrations in the 15th to 20th centuries (i.e. all their germs were the same whereas if you go to a party in New York City, you're in contact with bacteria that has come from all the corners of the Earth), and (C) expecting God to save you from every day challenges is idiotic.
- EvilFerret, on 02/02/2008, -0/+20Grow some ***** balls. I'm sick of people getting pussified from these *studies*. We're getting to the point where people are too ***** afraid of drinking from the same glass these days. Guess what? Talking to somebody face to face is transmitting bacteria/germs ect as well. The rate we're going, everybody is going to want to live in ***** bubbles 50yrs from now.
I don't double dip, because I know how to get my chip right the first time. However if I see some n00b chip dipper needing to double up on his *****, I'm not going to say anything. - IllBeBack, on 02/02/2008, -1/+20Then you're probably bisexual.
- antigirl, on 02/02/2008, -1/+19What if I WANT to kiss everybody at the party?
- mithrasinvictus, on 02/02/2008, -2/+20Next time you need a flu shot, just ask a stranger to spit into your mouth. Same difference, right?
- D3koy, on 02/02/2008, -0/+17Or at a bitchin' party...
- Randrayla, on 02/02/2008, -0/+14Even in the heat of the moment?
- TheKarmaPolice, on 02/03/2008, -0/+14or ass to mouth to nacho to salsa to salsa on other nacho to mouth, apparently.
- Rheic, on 02/02/2008, -5/+18You scare me.
- christopherRB, on 02/02/2008, -5/+18Sheesh, it takes research to figure that out?
- inactive, on 02/02/2008, -0/+11Life is disgusting, yes. Don't like it, maybe you should think about changing your state of existence.
- kanabiis, on 02/02/2008, -0/+11With all the danger, why has noone died of double dipping yet?
Wonder what the results of a similar study after a french kiss, or a drink off someone elses soda bottle, or sharing food with other parties at your dinner table....
More FUD and Hyperbole.
Do these people have no idea how the human immune system really works? It only gets stronger when introduced to foreign 'threats'. The more you shield yourself from 'harmful' bacteria, the more harmful it actually becomes. Lets not bring biology into the discussion though, that would be illogical.
Reminds me of the George Carlin bit, when he discusses the fact that he didn't get sick as a child, because he swam in the Hudson River, or as he put it, Raw Sewage, which made his immune system so strong he has super immune system.
Always cracks me up when I hear it. - ChronicColonic, on 02/03/2008, -4/+14Two girls shared one cup once and everything was o... oh yeah, they got sick.
- legendxx, on 02/02/2008, -5/+14wtf
- blooby, on 02/02/2008, -0/+8Out of sight, out of mind
- SmilinBob82, on 02/02/2008, -1/+9First off, I am somewhat surprised that someone actually did a study on this. Next they'll be doing a study of the effects of cold water on male genitalia...
Also I was somewhat surprised they found that much bacteria transfer. I was under the assumption that when you double dipped, any of the salsa that touched the part of the chip that was "contaminated" would just have been removed by the chip. Either way, 10,000 bacteria isn't that much. You can get more than that just by touching a door handle. - wcarolyn, on 02/03/2008, -1/+9Nobody cares about bacteria; it's the viruses that are causing the concern. One of the most common one is the spread of cold sores. Usually it's OK to double dip, but you should not double dip if you do not know who you're sharing the dip with or if you're sharing with sick people.
- elfprince13, on 02/02/2008, -0/+8you also don't get dioxins from someone else's mouth germs
- FatPhizzle, on 02/02/2008, -1/+9I agree with your statement. At one point in the article the researcher said that he didn't think he would get an amount of bacteria that was traceable but instead got 10000 bacteria. How much was that untraceable amount of bacteria? Was it 20, 1000, 4000, 7000?? It would be more effective if we had another number to compare the 10000 bacteria with.
- LBobRife, on 02/02/2008, -0/+8Yeah i read that article a few days ago. Saw a news report on the ***** too. I'm sitting here thinking " only 10,000? That seems a little low for a bacteria count."
Hell, I wonder what the results are when you don't dip from the same side you took the bite from. I usually rotate my chip.
Even so, like said above, bacteria isn't necessarily bad for you. This just seems like sensationalist garbage. - exomni, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7She's a chick: of course she's bisexual.
- Sroek, on 02/02/2008, -5/+12It's not about bacteria. When I dip a sauce, I only want that sauce, not ***** saliva.
- vpshockwave, on 02/02/2008, -0/+7Who the ***** licks the dip off a chip?
- linagee, on 02/02/2008, -2/+9"Double dipping is like kissing everyone at the party." HOT!
- hipnotyq, on 02/03/2008, -1/+6YOU DIPPED IT, YOU TOOK A BITE, AND YOU DIPPED AGAIN!
- eohano, on 02/03/2008, -0/+510,000 is not a "great amount of bacteria." They're just trying to scare all the uneducated sheeple.
- SLockhart, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5Exposure to small amounts of bacteria builds immunity. This article is FUD.
- urworstdaydream, on 02/03/2008, -0/+5It's over 9000!!!!!!!!
- jnnycakes, on 02/02/2008, -3/+8I swear I saw a different study that concluded double dipping was fine and it did not add a great amount of bacteria to the dip. Believe whichever you want, I guess.
- kanabiis, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5Then it appears that you went to the wrong party, your at an orgy, you should be questioning why there is dip there in the first place.
- blooby, on 02/02/2008, -2/+7I'm not paranoid - I just don't think it's nice or considerate.
- Jones82, on 02/03/2008, -0/+5Giggity
- Dundasbro, on 02/03/2008, -2/+7Sure it does, and i'm going to stab you with one for being a pedantic dick.
- debuggercll, on 02/02/2008, -0/+5This rule does not apply to sex.
- techlyc, on 02/02/2008, -0/+4moral relativity is retarded. what makes it disgusting? because the majority of the people in your culture say so - even though we are designed to handle it, and benefit from it?
