Pour, don’t dip when sharing snacks.
![Pour, don't dip when sharing snacks illustration: on the left the snack sharer seems sad that their friend has plunged their hand into their open snack packet. On the right, they're a lot happier to share by pouring snacks from the packet into their friend's open hand.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/e67fec7d-3186-452b-b444-bc1d56cd6daa_177632137426.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
I was taught this originally for backpacking but it really always makes sense once you think about it. Pouring onto a hand keeps dirty hands out of the rest of the snacks in much the same way as a drinking fountain manages to be hygienic by shooting out the water.
Some alternative sides to sharing: compliments are gifts and give gifts others can give. And two more about germs: sneezes and coughs, and the Dracula sneeze.
