We are all happy enough to write off a cheat meal as a high-calorie treat but have you ever paid attention to those extras?
Domino's has revealed that a big pot of the dip alone contains a whopping 675 calories.
After a long week of work, there is no better way to ring in the weekend than with a takeaway and a movie. Most of us take this weekly treat seriously. Choosing our favourite meals from our favourite spots and treating it as our cheat meal - a time to indulge.
A slice of pizza probably hasn't passed your lips before being dipped in a bit of barbeque sauce, sweet chili dip, tangy salsa or, the all-time favourite, garlic and herb.
The reaction on Twitter has been hilarious:
"Dominos garlic dip has SEVEN HUNDRED CALORIES in it why is everything I love being taken awaaaayyyyy from me".

We contacted Domino's on Twitter and they responded saying:
"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.
"One serving of the dip, plus three slices of our new Mexican Fiesta pizza, which is less than 150 cals per slice, is a total of just over 600 cals, about the same as a cheese and pickle baguette.
"We’re committed to providing transparent nutritional information on our website and via our app, to enable customers to make informed decisions."
So there you have it folks! The large pots of garlic and herb dip come in at 675 calories. Will it stop you from ordering it in the future? Hmmm. Let us know on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
