Wikipedia: Spinach dip
Spinach dip (sometimes casually spin dip) is a dip that uses the vegetable spinach as a primary ingredient. Frozen spinach is often used in its preparation. Slow cookers may be used to prepare the dip, and it may be served warm, or there may be no cooking involved. Additional primary ingredients include mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream and cheese. Examples of accompaniments to spinach dip include bread, crackers and chips.

Variations
Spinach-artichoke dip is one common variation, with artichoke hearts utilized as the other primary ingredient.

History
Spinach and artichoke dip became prominent in the 1950s, when eating in front of the television became more common. These became widespread, as they do not require any utensils. Consumer Packaged Goods companies like Lays, Hellman’s and Lipton’s helped push this trend.

I like Spinach & Artichoke dip because it has vegetables right there in the name, which obscures the fact that it’s really like 90% cheese.
Undeclared calories don’t count.

Our society values deception, case in point: We tolerate it being called spinach artichoke dip when those are merely garnishes on a vat of cheese and cream.

I love America because we named a dip “Spinach and Artichoke dip” even though it’s 4% vegetables and 96% cheese

You know, there’s a subtle beauty in referring to something that’s 95% cheese as “Spinach and Artichoke Dip.”
Next time I open a bag of Doritos I’m telling myself it’s Corn on the Cob Bites. Gonna feel great.
