Detroit connection to iconic Seinfeld episode
So many great lines and quotes from Seinfeld – one of the most famous happened at a funeral here in Detroit. George goes to a funeral IN DETROIT hoping it’ll advance his relationship with his girlfriend – but what it actually did was put a certain term into the public lexicon…who could forget “double dipping” after this episode.
And the actual scene that led to thousands of arguments at parties/funerals/etc. – started here in Detroit
Now that we’ve got a Detroit connection to an iconic Seinfeld episode – all about “double dipping”…here’s a question:
What’s worse – the double dip or the five second rule?
Here’s what I found: If you double dip a chip, you contaminate the bowl of dip with bacteria.
According to a new study by a food scientist . . . a bowl of dip where someone’s double dipped is filled with MORE bacteria than the average floor.
He found that when you dip a chip into a double dipped bowl, it picks up WAY more bacteria than you would if someone hadn’t double dipped.
And since those are germs that go from person to person, we’re talking things like the cold, flu, coughs, and more.
But when you drop something on the floor and quickly pick it up, it’s actually transferring less bacteria than you think . . . because, quote, “most surfaces are not going to have any kind of dangerous bacteria there.”
One more thing: Surprisingly enough, he found that when you drop food on CARPET, it picks up fewer germs than on tile or wood floors. And he says it’s because the carpet actually ABSORBS a lot of bacteria.
