Is this a parody?

It sucks too much to be legitimate.

i kinda got a sad one...i once considered going to the student health center for like 20 days in a row to get my free daily item of the 7 or so free items...i figure 1 chapstick lasts like a few years so if I got 20, i'd have a 40 year supply or so...but i didnt try it cause i didn't want the student health workers to think i was strange

"Conspiracy is defined as, “a group of conspirators banded together to achieve some harmful or illegal purpose”. After years of debating whether or not to expose the greatest conspiracy in U.S. history, mostly due to the fact that I value my life and my lips, I have decided to put my kissers on the line. Are you ready? “The slippery spotted seal slides south for the winter”, that is code for Chap Stick is the greatest conspiracy of all time! Seriously, I have used the greasy stuff since I was 13 and I CAN’T STOP! What do they put in Chap Stick that makes it physically impossible to kick the habit?Have you ever attempted to give up Chap Stick? It is like you have fish scales for lips after a day of not applying! I’m not doing it anymore. I have probably spent thousands just trying to keep the status quo. If you really think about it Chap Stick is a drug addiction, let me explain… #1 Peer pressure makes you do it. You figure one day, “Hey everybody else is using the stick! Why shouldn’t I?” #2 Your first experience gives you a high. Well, kind of–your lips have never been so soft! #3 You can never stop once you start unless you want to put yourself through immense amounts of pain! I am calling for a break through in the world of lip lubricants. I think we need to investigate these addiction pushers. I am going to start a support group for those who have an addiction (this blog). Please let me know how I or anyone out there can help you. Submit your stories, complaints or anything related to your chapped lips and your voice will be heard! I can just imagine the first post, ” Hi, my name is Joe and I have been using Chap Stick since the 5th grade. Everybody was doing it and I just wanted some friends. It has gotten so bad lately that I use a stick a week!” This could get ugly. Look at what these conspirators have done! For those of you who have started eating your Chap Stick, I’m afraid there is no hope. Start wearing sweat pants and tucked in XXXL Garfield shirts, you should just give up on life. But please share your story with us! "

I've had the same one in my car for about 3 years now. I hope it hasn't gone bad because I use it occasionally

7/9/2008 12:17:31 PM

Wouldn't it melt if you leave it in your car? That would be gross.

^no chapstick discussion for you, you hated my thread

Yeah it's really soft and stuff.. but i only use it in the winter so it hardens up before then anyways.

7/9/2008 12:18:56 PM

heh

I also thought of going to the student health center to get 40 year supplies of rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, aspirin, and bandaids....ended up thinking to myself "the time i'd spend getting all this would not be worth it"

7/9/2008 12:20:27 PM

I did it, just walked by and swiped my card. Lasted me at least a year after I graduated.

someone i know does design for store displays, and chapstick was a customer so they gave them tons of free chapsticks to use during the design. she offered to give me some free ones, i didn't know she would give me like 50 of them though. i don't know what to do with all of them.

I have a thing of Carmex that I've had since 9th grade that I still use.

So that's...15 years old.

Still works just fine as far as I can tell. Not that I use it that often (obviously)

The thought of eating lip balm makes me want to vomit for a very long time. I know lots of people used to eat Lip Smackers, but ... ewwwwwww
