History (from Wikipedia)
Chips and dip are a food of chips or crisps served with dips. Chips used include potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips, bean chips, vegetable chips, pita chips, plantain chips and others. Crackers are also sometimes used, as are crudités, which are whole or sliced raw vegetables. Various types of dips are used to accompany various types of chips.
The dish gained significant popularity in the United States in the 1950s, in part due to a Lipton advertising campaign, and it was sometimes referred to as “California dip” during this time. During this time in the U.S., specialized trays designed to hold chips and dip were created. It is a common dish during the Super Bowl American football game in the United States.
Double-dipping involves taking a bite of a chip and then re-dipping it into a dip, which some people disapprove of, while others are indifferent. Double-dipping transfers bacteria from a person’s mouth into a dip, which can then be transferred to other consumer’s mouths.[4] Aspects of double-dipping have been mentioned on U.S. television shows. National Chip and Dip Day occurs annually in the U.S. on March 23.
