Detroit Connection To Iconic Seinfeld episode

Here we are celebrating 313 Day - all things Detroit and here's one you may not know: There's a Detroit connection to an iconic Seinfeld episode - and it involves a chip.

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.

Now that we've got a Detroit connection to an iconic Seinfeld episode - all about "double dipping"...here's a question:

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.

Here's some GREAT Seinfeld stuff for the hardest fan

Jerry Seinfeld celebrates his birthday today (April 29), and we’re so happy, we feel like dancing!

In the vein of that iconic moment, we’d all be kidding ourselves if we said we didn’t use some sort of Seinfeld-ism on a daily basis, and be honest, so do you!  While there are countless phrases and moments that have become part of the pop culture lexicon, here are our 15 favorite Seinfeld-isms.

Know someone you can’t stand?  Ever greet them with the same disdain?  Stop kidding yourself; yes, you have!

People celebrate Festivus now.  Seriously, here’s a Festivus pole for sale on Amazon!

We’ve met a lot of people in our day that belong in The Jerk Store.

…And sneezes have never been the same!

HE WAS IN THE POOL!

Easily one of the most versatile Seinfeld-isms from the whole series.

Soup!  Seinfeld has changed the way we look at soup since this classic episode!

You know a show is influential when you could be sitting on the toilet and think about it.

Jerry was always picky about his women, but this was easily one of our favorite “deal breakers” of his.

Really…this entire episode is a prime example of just how good the writing was.

The fact that Luke from Gilmore Girls is the one trying to prove himself to be “sponge-worthy” makes this clip even better.

Anyone else “yada yada’d” sex?  Anyone…anyone?

Some of us have “regifted” pre-Seinfeld, but they helped coin the term.

This writer’s in-laws call each other “schmoopie.” Even though they’re just kidding around, it’s still gross.

Regardless of the type of pretzel, it’s hard not to think of this Seinfeld-ism when you’re eating them.
