Domino’s has finally answered the prayers of fans across the UK by launching a squeeze bottle of its iconic Garlic & Herb dip for the first time.
The Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip has developed a real legion of lovers over the years and they’re known to be very vocal about it too. We’re talking the Facebook fan pages, change.org petitions to start selling bottles of the dip in supermarkets, and even calls for it to have it’s own national day of celebration, level of vocal.
Fans during lockdown have been desperately trying to recreate the iconic dip for themselves, coming up with recipes as close to the real thing as possible, but it’s just not quite the same.
From today though, one of those wishes has finally come true.
For a limited time only, the popular pizza delivery retailer has launched The Drizzler – their Garlic & Herb dip in a 320ml bottle – designed for squeezing on top of your pizza, sides and more.

Nothing worth having comes easy though as unfortunately, these limited edition bottles aren’t so easy to get your hands on.
It’s not going to be as simple as nipping to the shop to pick it up or ordering online.

The catch here is that there are only 800 bottles of the elusive dip in circulation and Domino’s will be randomly delivering the bottles to people across the UK and Ireland who order pizzas with a Big Dip this weekend.
To put it simply, you’ll need to order pizza + one of the Big Dip pots of the sauce.
Unfortunately, it’s still luck of the draw so there’s still no guarantee that you’ll actually get a bottle alongside that though as selection is random until they run out, but this does mean that if you are lucky enough to be chosen for one, you won’t have to pay any extra.

The UK’s top 10 biggest Christmas ‘icks’ have been revealed
Emily Sergeant
The UK’s top 10 biggest Christmas ‘icks’ have been revealed, according to the results from a hilarious new survey.
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also have its fair share of icks.
From tinsel on the tree, to cheesy Christmas jumpers, and everything in between, there are plenty of Christmas traditions that we simply love, and some we love to hate – and now, new research conducted by online retailer Haypp ahead of the festive season has revealed exactly what it is that Brits find the ickiest.
The research reveals that the number one ick is a controversial one – putting ketchup on a Christmas dinner, as nearly a third of respondents (32%) claim it makes them feel grim and that they’d judge someone for it.

It may cause controversy in a few households nationwide, the second biggest ‘ick’ is adults in matching festive pyjamas, with just under a third of Brits cringing, while some of the other similar traditions to this on the list being family photo Christmas cards, and wearing Christmas jumpers in public.
Elsewhere on the list, it was revealed that 27% of Brits find it unbearable to talk about politics over dinner, and lots of us don’t like it when others watch us open presents.
Around 18% also can’t stand it when people argue over festive games.
The UK’s top 10 Christmas ‘icks’
Having tomato ketchup on your Christmas dinner – 32%
Adults in matching pyjamas – 29.2%
Talking politics during dinner – 27.9%
Undoing your trousers at the dinner table – 24.4%
Leaving the dinner table to smoke – 23.2%
Everyone watching you open your presents – 20.4%
Being hungover on Christmas Day – 19.5%
Arguing over a game – 18.1%
Family photo Christmas cards – 15.2%
Wearing Christmas jumpers – 13.2%
Bad habits at the dinner table also feature heavily on the list, as a quarter of Brits hate it when people undo their trousers after the Christmas meal, and just over a fifth find it rude when someone leaves the table to go and smoke.
What’s your take then? How many of these ‘icks’ do you agree with? Are there any others you feel need adding to the list?

Five of the best things to watch on TV this Christmas 2024
Emily Sergeant
We all know Christmas is a hectic time.
For some of us, if the run-up to Christmas wasn’t already busy enough as it is, there’s often not a moment to breathe on the big day itself between presents being opened, travelling to see people, entertaining guests, slaving over a hot stove for hours, and eating plenty of food.
Sometimes though, you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs with some time to spare, and that’s why the distraction of festive television is so brilliant.
For others, sitting around to watch the TV is an important part of Christmas itself.
No matter what your situation is, there’s some cracking things to watch on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day this year – with classic seasonal films, to festive specials of our favourite shows, and a few family-friendly additions all on the agenda.
