. : something i love : .


peppermint chapstick.

several christmases ago,
dave put about 20 packages
of chapstick in my stocking.
best present ever,
as i am always losing/melting/destroying
my chapstick.

mixed in with the others,
was one light blue package.
i don't particularly care for the blue chapstick,
so i left it unopened for several years.

when it was the only one left,
i opened it.
to my delight,
it wasn't the normal blue chapstick
(that's actually white inside);
it was BLUE inside,
and it was PEPPERMINT.
it is wonderful.
i have searched for it in every store i have ever been in,
but i have never seen it anywhere.

the only place i can find it is online in bulk,
which is fine, i just hate to pay shipping.
but now that it's almost empty,
i'll be ordering soon,
and so should you.
$1.99 each at drugstore.com.

Here it is on eBay for pretty cheap shipping.

I love that stuff too and have only been able to find it at Christmas time. A tiny close second is the spearmint, but only just barely.
Good luck!

Em, I'll buy some from you if you end up getting it in bulk. You made it seem like the best thing ever...

It IS. I'm totally goin' bulk. I should just buy tons of 'em and start selling them out of my jacket like bad guys do with watches and bracelets in movies.

OOOOH, I have so been searching for that too. I love the peppermint stuff. I don't even like regular chapstick, but the peppermint. Yumm-O!
