In the 6th grade, the curse of alphabetical seating forced me to sit next to a boy named Jason who was my constant tormentor. His favorite pastimes included scribbling on my homework papers, throwing small wads of paper at me during class, and calling me “Rachel Pachel†(my name does not lend itself well to rhyming taunts). All of these annoyances paled in comparison to Jason’s main passion.
He loved nothing more than to spend class eating lip balm. You heard me—eating it. Usually he brought his own Chapstick for this. However, he greatly preferred my Cotton Candy flavored Bonne Bell lip balm (with just a hint of sparkle). Jason would sneak into my backpack, extract my lip balm, and munch away on his waxy snack.
What could have possessed him to do this? I am not sure. I just know there is always that one kid in the back of the classroom, eating paste while the rest of the kids are making scrap paper collages.
I can only imagine how happy Jason would have been if he had gotten his hands on some of Lotta Luv’s candy lip balm creations. Imagine – some of your favorite candies re-imagined as a tasty, yet functional lip balm!
Lotta Luv’s lip balm come in a wide variety of candy flavors from the classics (Sugar Daddy, Bit ‘O Honey) to candy bars (Baby Ruth, Crunch Bar) to current favorites (Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, York Peppermint Patty). They even have several flavors of Bubble Yum gum and Jelly Belly Jelly Bean lip balms. There are so many varieties that I cannot even list them all!
As a Candy Addict and a lip balm addict, I know I will be hunting down a few of these flavors to stash in my purse.

Heh, another Rachel who is interested in lip balms.
I got really interested in the marketing idea of the weirder flavors (there’s a Cheetos-flavored one out there I really want). There’s something just bizarre to me about the sincerity of the packaging. Clearly these companies do not want to denigrate their product and yet, I can’t help but wonder who thought Pop-Secret Popcorn flavored lip balm was a good idea?
Here’s my collection (which now has Baby Ruth and Hot Tamales as well).
