Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate
Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate A Wimbledon fan has sparked outrage by ditching the traditional cream on strawberries for a Domino's dip - and onlookers are not impressed with the unusual choice 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. Clara Jennings raised eyebrows with her unconventional choice (Image: PinPep ) 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." Article continues below 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. Article continues below "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."
