“My car is covered in sour cream and chives. Last time I ignore a ‘hidden dip’ sign”

“Hidden dip” is a road sign. This has nothing to do with “dipping sauce,” but there are jokes.

Why do I always imaging a giant pot of salsa or guacamole lurking in the bushes when I see a “Warning - Hidden Dip” sign?

We just drove past a sign saying ‘Hidden dip’. My mum thought it would be funny to say “I hate it when they hide the salsa like that.”

The “Hidden Dip” sign on the B184 can now be removed - I’ve moved the guacamole from behind the hedge so it’s in plain view

On way home drove past a sign which said “Hidden Dip”. Very well hidden - looked everywhere but could not find any hummus or guacamole.

Never ignore road signs, it’s not worth it. I ignored a sign warning of a hidden dip and crashed into a stealth lorry carrying guacamole.

Once again struck by the number of “hidden dip” signs on the road between the East Neuk of Fife and Kirkcaldy.
Still haven’t found that well stashed tub of houmous. Even guacamole would be acceptable…

There is a road just north of Exeter with a ‘Hidden Dip’ sign, and I always expect to see a covert pot of Guacamole or camouflaged Tzatziki come out of the bushes.
