Chip Dip

Since Dan is from Michigan and I am from Texas (whoop!), we have often times come across cultural differences in our relationship. Some are little, like they call soda "pop" and Texans refer to everything as "coke". Others are slightly bigger, like they celebrate something called "Sweetest Day". I have never before in my life heard of sweetest day, but I NEED to remember it one year because it's a great excuse for a card and some candy.

Getting to the point. We celebrated 4th of July early with my family and Dan and I were at the grocery store picking everything up. We thought chips and dip sounded good and we were in the chips and dip aisle of the store. This is how that conversation went:

Me: What kind of chips and dip do you want
Dan: Chip Dip
Me: Okaaaaay. *Picks  out a few chips and dip combos* Does that work?
Dan: Sure. But I want chip dip too.
Me: What kind of dip is that? *looking around*
Dan: You know, chip dip
Me: I have chips and dip
Dan: But I want chip dip
Me: What they he** is chip dip?
Dan: You know chip dip, chip dip?
Me: *Stares blankly* I have NO idea what you are talking about. We are IN the chips and dip aisle.
Dan: You know, you eat it with potato chips, chip dip.
Me: You mean French Onion Dip?
Dan: YEAH, thats it! Chip dip.

I have NEVER heard the term "chip dip" before but apparently Northerners refer to French Onion Dip as Chip Dip. Now you know.
