MILWAUKEE, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Dip, that ubiquitous part of any fully dressed holiday party buffet, can be a protocol challenge for even the most seasoned host. What to say to the guest who’s a double dipper? How to manage the chip breaker? When to refresh the dip bowl after a visit from the dip hog? How to discretely rescue the wedgied veggie from Aunt Martha’s dip bowl?
“In Milwaukee, where there’s more Dean’s Dip consumption per capita than any other major American city, these kind of dip do’s and don’ts are a real challenge for holiday hosts and bowl game watchers,” says Steve Davenport, who manages Dean’s Dip production at the company’s Thornton, IL facility. “Dips, chips, veggies, friends and family are all part of any good party, but sometimes it can get a little messy when you combine them all.”
The solution? A visit to Dean’s new www.diveintodip.com website provides a host of tips to the party starter, including a list of the “Dean’s Dip Dip Tips: Top 10 Dip Do’s and Don’ts to Encourage Responsible Dipping.” It’s even downloadable so it can be discreetly left out on the buffet table or bar as helpful hints for that certain someone at the party who continually double dips or finger fishes in the dip.
“We can understand how people can go a little wild in their dipping habits this time of year,” says Wendy Gillett, a national food columnist and co-author of the Dean’s Dip Dip Tips, adding, “These dips are so delicious, especially my favorite the French Onion Dip, that it can be hard to control yourself. And it’s just so easy to come home from a hard day’s work or holiday shopping extravaganza, take your Dean’s Dip out of the fridge, open your favorite beverage and bag of chips and invite some friends over for a dip-and-chat mini party. I’m hoping a few simple dip tips will bring peace and joy to many holiday parties during this special time of year.”
Those dippers who want to share their special holiday dipping moments — including their friends and relatives dip disasters — can post their videos online at www.diveintodip.com and enter to win valuable prizes, including Dean’s Dip coupons, Chip Magnets(TM) refrigerator magnets and a Grand Prize featuring a basket of fun party-starting tools and case of Dean’s Dip to share! “For those of us who are really into dip the opportunity to have a case of dip delivered to our home would be a real thrill,” says Ms. Gillett.
