ChapStick Addiction

ChapStickWhat is it about this stuff? I've had a ChapStick addiction for many, many years now. It's not like I have dry lips or anything but I must always have a stick in my pocket. I constantly apply the stuff throughout the day. If you were to go through my dresser drawers and medicine cabinet you'd find probably no less than a dozen sticks of it. If I'm on my way to work or at work and don't have a stick in my pocket I'll stop at the nearest Walgreens and grab another. I can't go through the day without it. Trust me, I've tried. When I do, my lips feel all dry and cracked and nasty. I just counted, I've got 3 sticks on or about my person at this very moment. Do I need help? My personal favorite is the old standby of strawberry. I've tried their new Flava-Craze flavors but found them too fruity. I mean do you really need a flavor named 'Blue Crazeberry'?

What's next X-treme ChapStick? I can see it now: "Official sponsors of the X-Games. It now comes in X-treme flavas like Jumping-Jalapeno and Very-Vegan."

Maybe I should give ChapStick a call...

Actually, it's not fake fake fake. It's very true true true. I'm addicted as well.

When you don't have it, your lips get very raw and irritated. It's your lips going into a kind of "withdrawal"

Studies show that lip balm can be as addictive as heroin.

its true, i hae been addicted to it since about 10 years old. i am 39 now. i cannot go anywhere without it and if so i have to buy one. i heard the top layer of your skin quits producing moisture and you have to have the chapstick. CHAPSTICK is the only brand i can use. its a terrible feeling not having it in my pocket or hands. i have them laying all around the house. Think we should start a club.
