Life
Most people enjoy the Super Bowl for the game. Some people are really just in it for the halftime show. Some people get a kick out of the commercials. But everyone loves the food. Super Bowl Sunday is a tour de force of appetizers. There are endless varieties of chicken wings, bags of Tostitos, gooey mozzarella sticks and — of course — those super spectacular Super Bowl dips.
The Super Bowl may be a feat of athleticism for the players, but for those watching from home, it's a feat of feasting. "You just ate your weight in cheese dip — what are you going to do now?!" "I'm going to Disney World! ...after I sit catatonically on my bed for three days to recuperate."
Whether you're hosting a party, or you're being a good guest and bringing something, you can't go wrong with a delicious dip. But the question then becomes, what dip are you going to make? Are you in the mood for something with a Mexican-flavor, a necessary dish at any Super Bowl gathering? Or maybe you want to try something a little lighter. Maybe you want your dip to resemble another favorite snack, or maybe you want to do something completely original.
