We're talking about the banana etiquette.

This is an etiquette rule that was pointed out to me.

That's a great band name, banana etiquette.

As a young man that you shouldn't do because once in a while I was guilty and still

occasionally I do it but I try to abstain the double dipping you know you you dip a

salsa and you take a bite and then more you need some more salsa so you dip the same chip into the

same bowl now you can if you're with people know really well, and if you bite that chip,

you're right, you can't do it, you're right.

But I have noticed, I'm trying to think there's a way you can do that.

If you dip a side of the chip that has not been in your mouth.

That's acceptable?

I'm fine with that. I think so, too. If it's a huge chip, it's possible. Because a lot of times you're eating the chip, the rest of it's just all chip. Yeah. You need some liquid.

To the shared bowl, in theory, these microorganisms can be spread to other eaters, but in most cases might not be as risky as it seems. researchers at Clemson University.

Joe Ariola. Right. There were more bacteria. Neither one's going to be an be an omol, man. That's a shame. No, the guys who like that Titsworth guy discovered there were more bacteria in double-dipped situations. A pair with the single dipping, a series of experiments. The team analyzed how many bacteria were transferred from a bitten cracker into a cup of sterile water compared with

an unbitten cracker?

They found that someone took a bite before dipping, the water contained significantly

more bacteria.

Oh, because it's your lips and tongue and saliva.

Additionally, they reported the type of food.

The type of food mattered if you had double dipped into salsa, which has high acidity
