CHUGGING FROM THE MILK JUG

MOI

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Why dirty a fresh glass? And considering where it came from, whats the big deal about chugging out of the jug anyway?

Discuss among yourselves.....

[wimpycat]

Why should we worry about you chugging out of the milk jug when you use our toothbrush?

[HairOfTheDog]

I have been known to double-dip chips...

Dip a corner, bite.... dip again, finish. To me, it makes sense with large chips. Otherwise, one gets one bite with dip, and then has to eat the rest of the chip plain.

But this really upsets one of my friends, and she makes me order my own personal salsa when we go to mexican places.

The only other option would be to break the chips into smaller pieces before dipping, but then sometimes it shatters and is no good for dipping at all, plus you get crumbs all over the table. Double-dipping is the best alternative in that situation.

My sentiments exactly!

[HairOfTheDog]

I live alone and yes, I do chug. But I keep a second jug for guests.

I don't believe that for a minute. Situation: You have chugged all of your own milk, and only the guest milk remains... at the moment, no guests are present.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

In such a case guests will have the choice of pop, water or taking their chances. Once I chug the milk becomes mine.

[HairOfTheDog]

Do you actually tell them it has been chugged? Or let them make their own assumptions?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Full disclosure. And if they really really want milk then they can take the five minute walk to the local 24 hour Quikee Mart.

Now, about chips. You can double dip but you must turn the chip around so that the unbitten part goes in the dip. Two dips for potato chips and three dips for corn chips.

Given that I'm lactose intolerant, I'd never drink from the milk jug & I don't care if my hubby does either.

I'm not going to talk about the juice carton, because those things should remain private. It's that marital privilege thing.

I have consulted my friend, and ~she~ feels this is still altogether too much chip handling in a communal dip situation. I disagree, but then, that is why we have this ongoing problem.

[Wneighbor]

I don't understand what all the fuss is about double-dipping chips. Unless, it's like my grandkids who dip, suck the salsa off for a minute or two, then want to dip again. But, when it's just me and them, I don't even mind that. I mean, they are the GRANDkids.

I wouldn't want anybody else dipping soggy chips in my salsa though. But, if they're still crunchy - who cares?

[HairOfTheDog]

You and I seem to be close enough on this philosophy also.... But some feel this is a major faux pas!

[cajungirl]

Well I confess. I chug Orange juice but not milk. Something about milk, I thinnk bacteria grow to easily in it but that old acid OJ just kills the bacteria on sight. My deepest antisocial thing however is this,,,when I forget my tooth brush when traveliing I use husbands but only if I get it first and it is dry. Then I make fun of him if he objects and tell him everyone does it {I call this the Clinton Defense} and to get with the program, that he is a stodgy old guy and if he wants to stay young he has to "go with the flow",,,I will not use the brush if it is wet. I also use his razor but he doesn't know this,,he just thiinks they don't make blades the way they used to but that triple blade thing is really really good.

Your friends last name wouldn't be Monk would it?

There is another way although it is more work. Scoop up a large amount of dip with chip A, spread it over the chip with chip B. Smoosh together and eat. I call this chips, oreo style.

Note: be very careful when doing this with salsa. Squeezing too hard can result in chunks of spicy salsa flying out of the chipwich and hitting your dining partner in the eye, which can ruin the whole meal.

Now, about chips. You can double dip but you must turn the chip around so that the unbitten part goes in the dip. Two dips for potato chips and three dips for corn chips.

One solution to the three-dipping on tortilla chips (I'll give you two dips, but not three--that's almost spit-sharing time) is to buy the smaller round chips. That's a one dip chip for salsa or ccq. I will double dip potato chips if it's my own personal dip at home, but I do not want to risk the complete social humiliation of having someone publically announce that I have committed a social faux pas by double dipping at a gathering. The person who would be doing the announcement would be my #4 sister, the former cheerleader whose voice carries far and wide.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Once for each corner. You hold the chip in the middle and spin it. No spit will touch your dip.

Besides if you are at a party and reaching in a bag or bowl for a chip they are already contaminated.

You have no idea where the hands that went in that container have been.

[Threepwood]

Nope! Get a post-it note, write "milk experiment" on the side and put on the carton in the fridge. Read it in a book once, and when I tried it nobody touched my milk. This was in the oilpatch too, those guys were terrible milk swipers. Oddly, didn't work on peanut butter.

There are some things I'd rather not think about. Gack.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Then I will not tell you about what happens to your toothbrush every time you flush the toilet.

Who knew water droplets could carry so far?

I always brush my teeth at the kitchen sink. Am I going to Hell?
