Polite Ways to Keep People from Double Dipping

Want polite ways to keep people from double dipping? We’ve all seen people bite a chip and dip it again. It’s a disgusting and potentially dangerous habit. Saliva left behind on partially eaten chips will contaminate the food. People should use common courtesy and good sense, but courtesy and manners aren’t always common these days. The last thing you want to do is insult someone, but people need polite reminders sometimes. When the obvious doesn’t work other options might effectively deliver a hint. It’s the responsibility of the host to keep the food as sanitary as possible while keeping everyone happy.

Most people wouldn’t dream of eating out of a serving bowl at a party, but when chips are involved, hosts must stay at least one step ahead. It will not be necessary to announce your ‘no double dipping’ rule, and you won’t have to place little cardboard signs on tables either. People wouldn’t likely read the cards anyway, and those that read them might consider them rude. However, you can display a cute labeled bowl, fill convenient individual cups for personal servings, or offer individual Colorful Dip Clips. Take a quick look. These polite ways to keep people from double dipping work. The last thing you want is saliva contamination at your next get-together. Individual dip containers or clip-on dip containers are the answer.
