Unlike economies, aircraft altitudes, and Han Solo, chips are better when dipped. Drench snacks in designer spices with today's Groupon: for $10, you get six gourmet dip mixes from Dip Sensations (a $21 value). This Groupon is only redeemable online, and a $4.95 delivery fee applies.

Dip Sensations vends creative, gourmet dry dip mixes to lend spice to parties and gatherings. Each dip mix needs only to be combined with olive oil or sour cream, depending on the mix variety. Order the guacamole or chili con queso mix to garnish chips with a gun-firing Southwestern thrill, or salivate at the sight of the loaded potato skins mix, which combines cheddar cheese, bacon, green onion, and chives. Nonalcoholic piña colada and strawberry margarita mixes can become pie fillings, dips for fruit and cookies, or a safe way to share a toast for a toddler’s first permanent-marker wall masterpiece. All dips are MSG- and gluten-free. Dip lovers can make their six dip choices and stock up on chips in anticipation of their arrival instead of collecting wood shavings.
