Come on now, it’s not THAT good…
If you’ve got a pot of Garlic & Herb dip sitting in your fridge from the last time you ordered a Domino’s, you could be sitting on a money-spinner.
Last week, the pizza chain announced it was withdrawing the dip over concerns it contained traces of peanut.
The popular pizza chain advised customers with allergies to dispose of both Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips after a customer complained of an “itchy mouth”.
An email to customers advised that both 100g pots and the smaller 25g pots that come with pizzas were potentially contaminated.
Domino’s immediately stopped selling the Garlic & Herb dip, much to the disappointed of fans.
The dip has developed a cult-like status, and is hugely popular here in the UK, where us Brits consume 17 Olympic-sized swimming pools-worth of the stuff.
And whilst lovers of all things garlic and herb can still order the dip on the Domino’s website, some are trying to make a quick buck on eBay, where pots of the dip are being advertised for almost £10,000.
One seller on the site claims their pot of dip is the “last ONE,” and has slapped a £9,999 price tag on it, the Metro reports.
For context, the retail price for a 25g pot of Domino’s Garlic & Herb is £0.69.
Others are trying to flog their dip for hundreds of pounds, including one seller advertising their pot as “VERY RARE” and “unopened and registered.”
They’ve stuck a £499 price tag on this pot.
Someone else has listed their dip with a starting bid of £30, whilst another person is trying to sell their pot for £50, with bids starting at £1.
Neither have had any bids at the time of writing.
Following the recall of the Garlic & Herb dips, a spokesperson for Domino’s said: “At the weekend, we discovered that some batches of Domino’s Pizza Garlic & Herb and Honey & Mustard dips contained traces of peanut which could pose a risk for people with peanut allergies.
“We have withdrawn all these dips from sale, and ask any customers who have people in their household with peanut allergies not to consume and instead dispose of any of these dips that they have at home.
“Domino’s takes food safety very seriously and we are working urgently with our supplier to understand how this happened and ensure it doesn’t happen again.
“There will be disruption to the supply of dips in the coming days while we wait for new supplies to arrive and appreciate customers’ understanding during this time.”
