Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate
A Wimbledon spectator sparked a lively debate at the prestigious London tournament by forgoing the traditional cream with their strawberries in favour of Domino's Garlic and Herb Dip instead. The tennis fan caused quite a stir in the Wimbledon queue, boldly dipping the cherished strawberries into a pot of Domino's dip. Clara Jennings, 29, from Guildford, turned heads among fellow spectators as she tucked into her unusual snack while waiting to enter the globally renowned tennis event. Defending her unconventional choice, she explained: "Everyone does cream - I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird... but it works!" "I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I've started something." Her unique combination elicited various responses from onlookers. One tennis fan remarked: "I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it's pretty gross. Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven - this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza." Yet others were curious enough to give it a go. Jennifer Holmes, hailing from London, said: "I'm all for the sweet and savoury mix. Someone has to start the trend. "Take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm." At Wimbledon, it is estimated that fans consume over 1.9 million strawberries each year, which translates to a staggering 200,000 servings enjoyed throughout the Championships. Yet Wimbledon's classic strawberries and cream could be facing fierce competition from this new unexpected contender: strawberries paired with Garlic and Herb Dip, sparking a quirky new trend. The unconventional combination could potentially put a dent in the 7,000 litres of cream traditionally used to accompany the strawberries. Notably, the price of a serving of strawberries and cream has remained a steady £2.50 since 2010, making it a sweet deal for tennis fans. However, in recent years, Wimbledon has introduced a plant-based cream option for vegan spectators, available at select outlets around the grounds. A spokesperson for Domino's, said: "When this popped up on our Instagram, it was the first time we've seen someone enjoying our dip with strawberries! "How people enjoy our Garlic and Herb Dip is up to them - after all, lots of strange combinations were only strange until someone tried them. "Perhaps next year we'll see raspberries dipped into BBQ Sauce, or bananas drizzled with Honey and Mustard. Brits are renowned for their sense of individualism, and there's nothing more British than Wimbledon, so keep your eyes peeled."

Wimbledon fan swaps traditional cream on strawberries 'for gross' alternative
The bold tennis enthusiast turned heads in the Wimbledon queue - by dipping the much-loved strawberries into a tub of Domino's Garlic & Herb Dip A Wimbledon spectator has caused quite the commotion at the London tournament - by swapping the traditional cream for Domino's Garlic & Herb Dip to accompany their strawberries. The tennis fan turned heads in the Wimbledon queue by dipping the much-loved strawberries into a tub of Domino's dip. Clara Jennings, 29, from Guildford, raised eyebrows among other attendees as she enjoyed her unconventional snack while lining up to get into the global tennis tournament. She explained: "Everyone does cream - I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird... but it works! I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I've started something." The unusual pairing elicited a range of reactions from bystanders, with some even requesting to try it. One fellow tennis fan said: "I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it's pretty gross. "Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven - this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza." Jennifer Holmes, from London, disagreed, commenting: "I'm all for the sweet and savoury mix - someone has to start the trend, take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm." It is reported that Wimbledon consumes over 1.9 million strawberries each year, with fans from across the globe indulging in the popular treat. This amounts to a staggering 200,000 portions enjoyed each year during the Championships. Wimbledon's strawberries are famously smothered in over 7,000 litres of cream, but this figure might just take a dip if the Garlic & Herb Dip craze takes off. Remarkably, the cost for a portion of strawberries and cream has held steady since 2010, remaining a bargain at £2.50 per serving. One thing that has changed in recent years, is a plant-based cream for vegans, made available at certain outlets around the facility.
