Absolutely delightful! All the joyful tastes and smells of gum, plus it won't give you lockjaw or get you kicked out of homeroom for chewing too loudly. To be honest, this was never my fave, but it's a cult classic and waaaay better than actual soda, IMO.
All the joys of eating raw cookie dough from the Pillsbury slice-and-bake tube, and none of the salmonella! You should've seen this one coming based on my opening anecdote. I felt like a genius when I discovered this stuff! Finally, a way to feel like I was constantly eating cake without, well, constantly eating cake. Thank you, Lip Smackers, for all you've given us! Let's hope the next chapter yields as many delicious flavors for us to gleefully lick off our lips.
In tribute to this iconic product, which served as a makeup gateway drug for many preteens of the '80s and '90s myself included , here's a by-the-numbers look at the history of Lip Smackers.
Founder Jesse Bell, an avid skier himself, was unimpressed by the waxy, medicinal balms the athletes used on their chapped lips, so he set out to invent a formula that was ultramoisturizing and didn't taste terrible. Pepper to create the delicious soda-scented balm. Is anyone else shocked it wasn't Dr. Good news, right? Yes and no. Though we have some assurance that our beloved products will still be manufactured, this is a sad occasion. Not only is there the fact that 91 people employed at the Bonne Bell plant in Westlake, Ohio have lost their jobs, but the fact that a once vibrant brand has met its end.
Pepper Lip Smackers will outlive us all. IE 11 is not supported.
