If you break the chip in two and dip separately, not only do you keep the dip clean, but all the calories fall out when you break the chip in half. At least, that’s how it works with cookies.

Well, usually because you are using both hands to break the chip in half, you will transfer whatever germs you might have had on your hands onto the chip, and then later when dipping, you will transfer the germs into the dip. Gross!

The correct way to dip would be to use a small serving spoon and spoon out a small amount of the dip onto a small dish or into a small bowl. Then you can dip the chip anyway you would like.
