The answer is “Double Dippable Chips,” which are breakable tortilla chips that give you the opportunity to double-dip in one go, without having to actually dip the same chip into the bowl twice.

“As the producers of the key ingredient in some of America's most popular dip recipes, the Hormel Chili brand introduced this inventive creation to help double-dippers dip to their heart's content,” the company said Tuesday.
