DIP (fictional substance)

"DIP" (or D.I.P. and rarely D-I-P, although the acronym is unknown) is the fictional acid that drives the story of "THE DIP SAGA." It was created by the evil cogs in order to kill all the people of Toontown, thereby preventing the need for a full-force invasion. However, after a substantial amount of DIP is spilled over Hermione Katze's house, she takes it upon herself to destroy all manufacturing of "DIP."

Although "DIP" manufacturing is never fully ceased throughout the entirety of the series, Hermione does manage to destroy a major component of the operation, forcing the cogs to invade the town and make significant losses (as seen in the first installment, THE DIP).
