First of all, credit for this post goes to Boundless Line, where the author, Motte Brown wrote about a bit he heard on the John Tesh show about double dipping.
John Tesh got his info from the show "Food Detectives" from Food Network. Here's the summary from Tesh's page:
Food myth #1: Double dipping transmits germs. That’s TRUE. In an experiment that involved food technicians double-dipping, and even triple-dipping a bag of potato chips, scientists found the results disturbingly dirty. All it takes is one single bite to transfer more than 10-thousand bacteria from the mouth back into a bowl of dip.
Arguably, Seinfeld is responsible for bringing both the act and the term "double dipping" to the mainstream of social and cultural debate. Here's the scene from episode #59, "The Implant", from February, 1993:
As Timmy illustrates, once again Seinfeld proves to still be culturally relevant, prophetic, and accurate.
Incidentally, Seinfeld Episode #59 also gave us Teri Hatcher (who later would play Lois Lane and a Desperate something-or-other) delivering the classic line: "They're real, and they're spectacular."
But that's another blog topic...
There were three men around the fire, with the smell of coffee and of bacon frying. It was a two-bit camp in mighty rough country, with three saddle-broncs and a packhorse standing under a lightning-struck cottonwood. "Howdy," I said. "You boys receivin' visitors, or is this a closed meetin'?" They were all looking me over, but one said, "You're here, mister. Light and set."

You sure seem to know your Teri Hatcher...?
Not really a fan of Ms. Hatcher. I've never seen an episode of "Desperate Housewives".
However, her appearance on Seinfeld was memorable.
Spectacular, in fact.
In my next life, I am requesting that I come back as her :)
I think I am the "bizzaro" Teri Hatcher. You know, opposite hair color, eyes, and.... stuff -- keepin' it "real" though! :)
Oooh. Nice Seinfeld reference with "bizarro".
You're keeping it real, and, I might add, spectacular!
