One of my favorite episodes of Mad Men is the one where Campbell is returning a dip and chip dish he and Trudi got as a wedding gift so that he can use the refund to buy a rifle.  He has to explain "dip" to the guys in the office because thy have never heard of it.
Dip was invented in the early 1950s.  California Dip, sometimes also called Onion Soup Dip, was used in advertising by the Lipton Company, although they do not claim to have invented it.  The first Dip and Chip dish set was issued in 1953.
California dip is a two ingredient recipe, the sour cream and the onion soup mix.  Here is another two ingredient dip, a little more updated.  I got this recipe from a friend in California.

                                                  Kimchi Dip

                             1 pint jar of Kimchi
                             4 bars cream cheese
Blend the ingredient in the food processor.  Thin with milk if needed.  Serve with chips or baguet slices.
