Mmmmmm ... Carmex.

I apply it maybe 12-13 times a day. 50-60 seems excessive.

My favorite lip balm addict also chewed on ice. She'd go through several trays a day. I also had to keep her in Watermelon Bubblicious. Last I heard she'd given all that up and was running triathlons...

I've got a name for the addiction. Embalming.

"Excessive" is in the eye of the beholder. 12-13 times a day seems excessive to me.

Every day?

I don't know if I should laugh, cry or feel sorry for the chapstick junkies.

I'd go with laugh but then again, I'm not a very nice person.

"Buys stock in Lip Balm..."

Maybe you should sell, the class action shysters may get after this later today, or tomorrow AM at the latest!

Thanks for posting this. Someone in my life is a lip-balm fanatic, even to the extent that he pulls the tube out in public, which I just don't understand. I've often thought of lip-balm as being addictive. I mean, what would make a normally-macho guy do something that looks like he's applying lipstick? It MUST be addictive.

For all you male FReepers out there who put on lip-balm in public, please go to the men's room or something. A man publicly applying a substance to his lips from a lipstick-style tube is equivalent to a woman publicly scratching herself as if she has jock itch. It just doesn't look right. LOL!
