Companies don’t give a rat’s hinder if workers’ conditions are bad, or conflict minerals wouldn’t be an issue. They restrict supply to maintain prices, you know, like OPEC tries to do, but the diamond market is a tighter cartel.

Generally, when you double-dip, any saliva on the chip that you dip back into the bowl would transfer to the dip directly next to it… the dip that you then pick up with your chip!

of course not….think about it:the tank is sealed and even if there was a leak it would be too hard to produce enough heat to ignite the propane

There are many microbes that are endogenous or inert to humans, most are destroyed by stomach acids or are crowded out by native intestinal bacterium which are better adapted to survive there.

That said, I disagree with the conclusion because of one key factor: the human mouth and the kinds of germs it can contain. Hepatitis comes to mind, Streptococcus, Epstein-Barr virus etc that are pathogenic. So sure, it may not be a big bacterial culture, but when it’s nasty germs it doesn’t necessarily matter whether the colony is huge or not.

P.S.
As someone who likes to double dip sometimes himself, please be considerate to others and serve yourself your own dip on a plate, for God’s sake.

I have actually slipped on a banana peel! The point is that the banana peel wasn’t fresh; it had been there some days. This makes the white stuff on the inside rot into slime. This was on an asphalt road. The soles of those shoes were rubber: therefore, they stuck to the banana skin (on top) which then slid on the slime. Also, I used to slip all the time on polished lino or tiles wearing (dressage) boots with smooth leather soles. By the way I am very sure footed and have excellent balance – I didn’t fall over, but recovered during the slip.
