Driving and eating is a challenging task that often results in the staining of the interior of one's car, which is precisely why one company designed the DipClip -- a humorous, yet practical solution to those messy car meals.

This fast food accessory can be clipped onto the vent of nearly any car, serving as a holster for one's [condiment of preference](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-big-dip). With a design inspired by a cell phone mount, the DipClip offers the consumer the freedom of in-car dining, while eliminating the mess and hassle that's associated with attempting to [evenly distribute ketchup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-gold-dunk-cup), while keeping one's eyes on the road.

The DipClip humorously boasts the slogan of "practice Safe Sauce" and has currently exceeded its funding goal on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolper).
