Domino’s garlic & herb dip has more calories than two McDonald’s cheeseburgers

The Domino's garlic and herb dip is a takeaway classic, no pizza crust can go undipped when it's available.

And a large tub is perfect for a hangover - with the sauce complementing the deliciously greasy and cheesy pizza feebly ordered from under a duvet.

In fact, there's an argument that we should bottle it up - it's sure to be a winner for the pizza chain.

A 25g pot of the garlic and herb dip contains 169 calories. But the thing is, small pots aren't enough. One or two crusts are left sauce-less, which is unthinkable.

But did you know just how calorific a large pot of the delicious dip is?

The pots are 100g, four times the size of regular portions, and were released in 2015 following a campaign by customers.

The large pots contain 675 calories, which is more than two McDonald's 99p cheeseburgers (263 cals each).

Now sure, the super-sized tubs are designed for 'sharing'. But despite this point, people have been left a little shocked by the realisation.

More than one person has been known to have a whole one to themselves or at least shared one with someone else.

Squeezing nearly 700 calories into a 100g tub of sauce is quite a feat...

Abbey Everett, a spokeswoman for Domino’s, told The Mirror: “Our Garlic & Herb Big Dip is great for sharing with family and friends, and we recommend each party size should serve at least four people. Single size pots are also available at 169 cals each…

"We’re committed to providing transparent nutritional information on our website and via our app, to enable customers to make informed decisions.”
