The Makers of HORMEL® Chili Solve the Double-Dip Dilemma with Double Dippable Chips

The acceptability of double-dipping has long been a polarizing topic of snacking etiquette, as evidenced by recent surveys and across social media, where posts abound with arguments for and against the act of double-dipping. Now, the debate continues at ChiliDoubleDip.com with a live poll measuring attitudes toward double-dipping. Consumers can cast their vote here.

The makers of HORMEL^® Chili teamed up with a Minnesota-based specialty foods producer to create these one-of-a-kind tortilla chips, which feature a novel perforation down the center for an easy break, resulting in two even halves — perfect for indulgent dips. After rapid prototyping and some serious break-and-dip testing, Double Dippable Chips are now ready to meet some lucky winners.

Starting March 18 at 12:00 AM (Eastern), dip lovers can enter for a chance to win limited quantities of HORMEL^® Chili Double Dip Kits at ChiliDoubleDip.com. The party-friendly kits include a bag of Double Dippable Chips, a can of HORMEL^® Chili and a recipe for a delicious 7-Layer Chili Cheese Dip. HORMEL^® Chili Double Dip Kits will ship to winners just in time to enjoy during the upcoming college hoops tournament.

“When it comes to the food on the party table, dips are a star attraction,” said Jason Hron, HORMEL^® Chili brand manager. “Given the idea of double-dipping remains polarizing, we thought it would be fun to create something that could satisfy both sides and keep them both dipping into some delicious HORMEL^® Chili Cheese Dip.”

Whether you’re cool with dipping a chip once or twice, any gathering can add excitement with a chili cheese dip featuring HORMEL^® Chili.
