To me they have different connotations. Sipping something is happening right now. If I'm sipping on something it implies a longer, extended period of time.

It's not a matter of bieng new. It's new to here.
It's actually "suckin' on a chili dog." But I'm not here for a thread about the linguistics of "suckin' on a..." vs. "suckin' a..."

Sip on and sip have different meanings and uses.

Almost anything in English can be expressed in multiple ways.
Sadists have so many tools in their toolboxes, don't they.

It's because people come from different parts of the country. There are a lot of variations of simple things like this, depending on where you live (or are from).
My least favorite right now is "On tomorrow" "On yesterday." So stupid sounding. Not sure what part of the country this is from but not a very well educated one.

I've noticed a trend of adding "on" to verbs that don't really require it. My fitness instructor tells us to "grab on" our weights, a newspaper article I just read described someone as "sipping on" a matcha latte. "Grabbing" your weights and "sipping" your matcha latte is just as grammatically correct (if not more so), and simpler, so why has this linguistic trend appeared?
