I recall there was a story from Predictably Irrational where the experimenters were trying to figure out how to get participants to avoid double-dipping tortilla chips.
Along with a control condition, they tried setting up a sign that said “NO DOUBLE DIPPING”, and I think they also tried paying people or getting them to promise not to double dip, stuff like that.
The thing they found most successful was to set up two bowls of dip: One labeled “For double-dipping”, and one “Not for double-dipping”.
They supposed that once they had to do a physical action where they sorted themselves according to “what kind of person they are”, they wanted all of their visible actions to be consistent with that.
Side note, I believe the mythbusters did double dipping, and as I recall, it’s really not a problem unless you stir or leave the chip in the dip/salsa for an extended period.

Interesting experiment but who the fuck doesn’t just eat the whole chip at once?
Did he stutter?
Double dippers, apparently.
“Restaurant style” chips are enormous. Far too big to shove in your mouth at once.
sounds like you might benefit from having a bigger mouth
I like a big salsa to chip ratio, so I break the chip into smaller pieces (usually 2) and dip/scoop each one. No double dip, good salsa to chip ratio.
