In the
Playboy Clubs of the
1960s to the
1980s, it was customary for waitresses (aka
Bunny Girls) to do the Bunny Dip while serving drinks. Instead of bending over in order to set the drinks on the table, it was necessary for the
waitress to face away from the table and do a combination
tilt and
twirl backwards. This was an acquired skill and resulted in several back injuries over the years. The Bunny Dip was
compulsory and was done in order to keep the Bunny's
breasts from
popping out of her costume. Watching an attractive woman
bend over backwards was also aesthetically pleasing in its own right.
The website Circle Time (http://www.badghill.pair.com/circtime/) also suggests an actual dip by this name, allegedly to get kids into the Easter spirit. It's a mix of ranch salad dressing and sour cream, and should be eaten with carrot sticks.
