It's a Dip-Tastic Time of Year!

What do holiday parties, college bowl season and the increasingly exciting NFL schedule have in common? They're all situations that scream out for the right dip... but what is the right dip?

You might be a Ranch lover or your heart might skip a beat at the sight of a fresh bowl of Guacamole. Me? I'm a French Onion guy... always have been, always will be. Heck, one of the first things I wrote about on this blog was our Jersey shore house delicacy of hot dogs topped with French Onion dip.

But, like all great debates we could sit and argue the merits of different dips and the perfect delivery system (potato chips? tortilla chips? carrots? celery?) for hours. And believe me, I have.

So I'm pleased to report that somebody finally stepped up to the plate and created a site where we can finally answer the questions that have been plaguing us! Check out the Dean's Dip Dipstakes Sweepstakes either at Facebook or the Dipstakes web site and enter the weekly drawing for a Dean's Dip Tailgate Prize Package. You might also walk away with the grand prize of a home entertainment system! While you're there you can vote on the burning issues of the day, show your handicapping skills by picking the weekly NFL winners, connect with fellow dip-fanatics on Twitter and more.

The good folks at Dean's Dip were nice enough to send THG some coupons good for a FREE tub of their dip. If you'd like to be entered into a random drawing for a free copy of THG #11 and a coupon for a free Dean's Dip, e-mail us your name and mailing address before midnight EST on Friday, December 18, 2009. We'll randomly select four winners and make their holiday season a little dippier. Be sure to include the word DIP in the subject line of your e-mail.
