[Groop] Johnny Carson's Cheese Dip

[Ruben Arellano]

If you go to the chip & dip isle at your local Jumbo Mart, you can probably find cans of "Nacho Cheese Dip".  

Also, a common dip to have with "hot wings" or "buffalo wings" is "Blue Cheese Dip".

The pizza company Panago offers little containers of dip to go with your pizza - there are a variety of flavours including chedder cheese dip.

If one were to ask "What the heck is a cheese fondue?!?", one could describe it as a sort of hot "cheese dip" for dipping bits of bread into.

I dunno', Larry, seems like there's plenty of cheese dip to go around.....

Ruben.
