I know one has a red nose and the other black, but which is which? Dsons are watching the beach party video and wanted to know! I said I knew just who would have the answer!
Yup Chip's nose is like a chocolate chip...While Dale has a reddish brown nose. ...also Dale has two teeth that are spread apart and Chip only has one tooth..lol
We were told by a character CM that Dale got his name for the space between his teeth. Dale means valley, or hollow, or empty space.
But mostly I remember Chip's chocolate chip nose.
What an interesting post! I always wondered the same thing. It is an easy way to remember too...chocolate CHIP for CHIP and tan for Dale. Thanks for posting this!!!!
I always remembered it from the teeth 1 - 2, Chip - Dale
When my husband (Chip) first got his current job in a small college music department, there was only one other full time professor -- his name is Dale. They still get quite a lot of snickers.
This is how I remember it...Chip's nose is like a chocolate "chip"...Dale's nose is red b/c Dale DRINKS!!! (everyone is saying his nose is tan...I always thought it was red...and started attributing that to too much acorn schnapps!) Is that wrong on principle?
Not that you haven't got it figured out yet but I always remember that dale is the goofy one (no pun intended) so has the more overstated features. I don't know how you translate that to children-ese but I guess I would just say that Dale is the funny one so he looks funny. Anyway it's always kept me straight.
...t.
The way I always remember the 2 apart is that Dale has a gap in his teeth and Chip doesn't. It's easier to remember than the difference in nose colors.
