It's official: double-dipping is gross. The Journal of Food Safety will publish a study this year (admittedly Seinfeld-inspired) confirming that "three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip."
Prof. Paul L. Dawson, the food microbiologist who headed the study, sums up the results nicely:
"The way I would put it is, before you have some dip at a party, look around and ask yourself, would I be willing to kiss everyone here? Because you don’t know who might be double dipping, and those who do are sharing their saliva with you."

Does TV talk get any better than this? Snoop Dogg takes Larry King out for chicken and waffles at Roscoe's. Snoop orders for the both of them: waffles (for shizzle), three chicken wings, grits, one egg white and a fluffy biscuit with grape jelly. Then Snoop makes up a new word.
Larry King: "Egg yellow is cholesterol."Snoop Dogg: "Exesterol."
Then, weirdly, Larry King leaves without finishing his waffle, but apparently him and Snoop are tight. So it's all cool.
