In the episode "Seinfeld" "The Implant" (February 5, 1993), George (Asoneyson Alexander) accompanies his girlfriend Betsy (Megan Mullali) at her aunt's funeral, wanting to be support. However, the characters of Seinfeld are always captured by their detail and neuroses, so it won't be long before Georgeorje performs some sort of terrible fax. Case at the point while at the funeral, Georgeore is in quarrel with Betsy Timmy's brother (Chieran Mulroni) over The double -soaking label. Is it acceptable - or sanitary - to take a bite of a chip of fun, and then dip the remaining piece back in a communal container with ranch dressing? Timmy is appalled that Georgeor will dip a chip after taking a bite. "It's like putting your whole mouth dipped." He seemed worried that some remnants of the Georgeore saliva were working in the dip container.

Georgeorje, as a small human being, refuses to listen to and be a spiritual double dipping before Timi. A physical struggle broke out. Needless to say, Betsy and Georgeorje did not stay together together.

But then, some Seinfeld viewers may ask: which one is correct? Some may spoil in thought On the saliva of peers working on the road in the United States with a fun dip, and it may be easy to paint the bacteria that are transmitted into food, but did it really seem that the unhygatory team seemed to be thinking? Maybe some viewers had to ask serious questions. Am I a two-dipper? Do I hate double coverings? And would some scientific research prove which side of the dip argument was correct?

Fortunately, the creative souls in "Mythbusters" have stepped to answer the second question.

In the episode "Mythbusters" "Banana Slip/Double Dip" (June 3, 2009), the two hosts of the show, Jameimi Hayman and Adam Savage, decided to see if Timmy was right when he said double dipping is how to put the whole mouth in a jar. They set up some agar plates in the Petri vessels in the hope of growing bacterial crops and measuring the levels of microbes in some dip after the act of double soaking. They tried with lively salsa and a little cream cheese and will surely get a basic reading, watching how many germs they had in dip before they entered the chips. Then they gladly dipped just as Georgeorje did in the "implant". Soak, bite, dip. After double soaking, Mythbusters took a second reading of bacteria to see if they add new germs to the mixture.

Only for a good measure, Hayman and Savage did what Timi suggested and put their mouths in both dip. Yes, they both filled their mouths with a dip and then sprayed them in the bowl. The couple then took a tertiary reading of microbes. If the double dipping was really the same and dipping, the mythical mys had to be confident. Petri's dishes remained in an incubator of 98 degrees for a 24-hour period.

Shockingly, the mythbasters found that the salsa is bad with bacteria ... for all three specimens. Even without human saliva in it, it was full of germs. Indeed, they have found that the control salsa somehow contains more bacteria than even the salsa they held in the mouth. It seems that in an ordinary party environment, double dipping will do nothing to dip the container with a dip, as it is probably already corrupted by environmental factors.

But mythbusters were not happy to leave well enough. To make sure that double dipping really added germs to the United States with a dip, they decided to re -conduct the experiment, but this time, to start a posterile environment. Adam Savage took the chips to the radiation laboratory and bombarded them with radiation in an attempt to kill all the microbes on them. The laboratory technician who helped Savage said the chip could taste funny after, but that they would really be safe to eat.

The couple then hired an expert on Parthenogenesis, Dr. Russell Vans, to oversee the experiment. They mixed "dip" made by nothing but agar and sterilized water (don't worry, it's eating) and made the three-in-one test again. Surely, it wasn't very tasty. Yes, they even filled their mouth with the agar/water mixture, and then sprayed it back into the bowl.

Their results:

This time, the "dip" control was clean (as they expected), but the double specimens were only slightly unclean, producing tiny amounts of bacteria. Maybe one to three colonies. Double soaking seems to add germs to the United States, Ah, Agar Salsa. As for the demand for full mouth, the samples came out much stricter, with dozens of bacteria colonies that form in them. So, Timmy was wrong. Double soaking is not as bad as putting the whole mouth in the bowl.

But then, Timmy was wrong at all, because the exhibited plates of salsa at the party were entirely of bacteria even when they were intact. But it is likely that the average human immune system will easily kill something introduced in such a way.

In a rare example of "Seinfeld" righteousness, Georgeorge was correct. Soak however you want and don't let people tell you it's gross.
