Literally every man I have ever dated

Literally every man I've ever dated with the exception of my current partner has done the same thing.

At some point he makes a big show of demonstrating that when he's down towards the bottom of a jar of dip, he crushes up a few chips, puts them in the last of the dip, and eats it with a spoon.

He seems utterly convinced he is the only human being who has ever done this, and that it's an incredible act of thrift as well as culinary daring on his part. Meanwhile, in truth, at least 95% of everybody who eats chips and dip does this. At this point I usually excuse myself to the bathroom so I don't end up either screaming "EVERYBODY DOES THAT!!!" or just silently walking away into the welcoming arms of the sea so I never deal with this again.

Roughly half the time he will moreover tell me with a certain jaunty air that he calls it "chip soup." Needless to say he would bet anything and everything he has on the notion that even if anyone else does this, they don't call it chip soup. I don't date much and never did, but I can name a minimum of 4 men who call it that.

But at last I have my exception. My current partner has never put me through this. He doesn't even like dip. He just sits there and eats his sour cream and onion potato chips as-is from the bag, and talks about other stuff.
