History of Chips and Dip Day

Chips and dip gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1950's in part due to a Lipton advertising campaign for their French onion dip recipe sometimes known as California dip.

Specialized trays and serving dishes designed to hold both chips and dip were created during this time. 

Chips and dip are frequently served during the Super Bowl American football game in the United States.
