Chips and dip[edit]

Crab dip and potato chips

  • ... that chips and dip (pictured) gained significant popularity in the United States circa 1954 in part due to an advertising campaign that promoted using Lipton's dehydrated onion soup mix to prepare dip?

:* ALT1: ... that chips and dip are partly to blame for increased mortality due to influenza contracted during Super Bowl games? (added by User:Bfpage on 03:36, 29 April 2015‎ (UTC))

  • Content in ALT1 is not supported in the article. In the article, it states "A study from Tulane University suggests that flu mortality increases in cities hosting the Super Bowl when people share drinks or chips and dip at parties during the height of influenza season" (italic emphasis mine). The study suggests the notion, whereas ALT1 states the suggestion as fact. North America1000 03:30, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
  • There is a tertiary source to the Tulane research article that quotes its results. So there are two references cited for that statement. But you are the one who has the experience and know how when it comes to DYK nominations and discussion. You also have about 200,000 more edits than I do. I withdraw my alternate 'hook' out of admiration and respect for you and your experience. The very Best of Regards,   Bfpage |leave a message  23:48, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
