Lip Schmackahs | Playgroups are No Place For Children

January 10, 2008 | Filed in: Pictures, Randomness

It’s possible that I really am reverting to a tween. Not only am I zitty and sassy, I couldn’t resist buying myself some flavored lip smackers that I found in the clearance section at the grocery store.

Root beer, Cherry, and Black Cherry Vanilla. (I’m, like, so bummed that two of them have a hint of cherry. Why couldn’t one of them been, like, Dr. Pepper, ya know?)

But it was only $2.49 on sale! They were practically giving them away. I have no idea what the original price was, but who cares! It said it was on sale!

What’s next? Am I going to start playing High School Musical on a loop and pretending that the pillow that I’m kissing is Zac Efron? Am I going to start dreaming of being just like with Hannah Montana? Am I going to go into mourning now that there won’t be anymore episodes of Zoey 101?

I have NO comment as to how I even know anything at all about Zac Efron or Hannah Montana or Zoey 101. Just shut up, okay? Seriously!

(Remind myself of my to do list: GET A LIFE.)

You need the gigantic Hershey bar lipglosser to go with those! I could eat that whole tube of goodness… if I bought stuff like that. Which I don’t. Noo- never.

Root beer chapstick?!? Good times. Hello 1980!

I have no clue who Zac Efron is. I only know Hanna Montana because she was on Oprah…oh god, when did I turn so suburban?

Kiwi Strawberry Comet Lip Smackers is my favorite. So what if I’m 15 years too old for Lip Smackers!

Jessica @ A Bushel and a Peck’s last blog post..For Crying Out Loud

Zac Efron? Really? I’m more of a Chad Danforth kind of girl.

What?

The Dr. Pepper one was my favorite! I also loved the vanilla one. I think I have to go to Target now.

AndreAnna’s last blog post..Something about a streaker

Lip Smackers are my go to lipstuff for a night out with the girls, quick trip to the store, and even presentations for work! Shine, just enough color to be flirty, yet not obvious, and yummy to boot. I have it on good authority that Dr. Pepper and Strawberry have been responsible for at LEAST a make out session (in the last year) and other girls smile at the fond memories when seeing those special little tubes of goodness.

And one of my guy friends buys Dr. Pepper for himself now. I don’t ask questions.

I <3 Lip Smackers 4 - evah

i have no idea about any of the things you mentioned in your post, but seriously… sometimes i wonder about myself too! maybe we just miss being FREE? and back then if we did stupid things we had an easy excuse, we were young! ya’know?!

shaz’s last blog post..Accomplishments

I forgot all about LipSmackers! Now I’m going to have to see if I can find some for myself….yum!

Maggie’s last blog post..Theme Thursday - Contrast

Have you ever watched Degrassi:The Next Generation? It is so much better than High School Musical.

Not that I have any reason to know that.

Jerseygirl89’s last blog post..Ugghs

Haha! I totally stocked up on lip smackers at the Walmart after Christmas sale. Would you like Sugared Plum or Berries and Cream? And I may or may not have bought some Hannah Montana lip gloss that may or may not be for my niece.

Dr. Pepper was the best flavor by far! Now I’m going to have to buy me some, and I bet it won’t be on sale. Dayum.

Friglet’s last blog post..It’s all I’ve got

I guess there is an advantage to having tween and teen girls! At least I can buy that stuff and watch those shows and blame it on them!

Dana’s last blog post..Another Birthday!

Ya know who I like?

The Jonas Brothers…

I know.

Scary.

~JJ!’s last blog post..Potty Training Round 5,989*

Growing up, my sister used to buy Lip Smackers like they were going to be rationed in the near future. She had over 100 different kinds. like you could ever use 100 different kinds of gloss?
I stole the chocomint glitter one. She never noticed.

mrs. mustard’s last blog post..Of Penises and Playboy Bunnies

Dr Pepper lip smacker is the best. Lord did I just show my age or what?

Jess’s last blog post..She hasn’t been here 24 hours yet and he already wants her fixed.

Remember when lip smackers used to come in those thick tubes (vs. the little, skinny tubes they come in now?)

I’m so glad I’m not alone.

I’m wearing the Black Cherry Vanilla right now. Mmmm.

I was ADDICTED to those in high school. I always had at least three different flavors in my purse and then another gazillion in my car. I loved Lip Smackers.

Karly’s last blog post..I Got The Gout

I love those things. There is nothing wrong with still being a tiny bit of a kid inside.

Now I have an excuse as to why I know who Hanna Montana is and all that stuff. However, I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with knowing kid culture. Makes you cooler in their eyes.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Plus dude, Ella is gonna love you when she hits 3. You will be sooooo cool to her.
Phoenix’s last blog post..Bill Cosby on education

That would be no worse than me flipping through XM, hearing Ice Ice Baby and cranking it WAY up.

It’s good for you to keep up with the tween culture. Those tweens are going to babysit your kids. You have to find some way to relate with them & be the cool mom to babysit for, right?

Anglophile Football Fanatic’s last blog post..And, for post #187, a contest…sorta.

my 6-year-old and i both love ‘em
(hangs head in shame)

ali’s last blog post..pretty please with a man showing his privates on top…

So, who do you normally pretend the pillow is?

Sarah @ Ordinary Days’s last blog post..Me And My Bright Ideas…

Next step is climbing out the window at night to go hang out in a parking lot.

Swistle’s last blog post..Pee Sticks and Charting

what makes me sad is that my 13-year-old daughter is getting past “those things” … what excuse will i have for watching “high school 14″???

janet’s last blog post..Absence makes the heart grow weepy

You know there is a reason it was on clearance, right?

I would have SO wanted the Dr. Pepper one!

Miss’s last blog post..“With you, all I know is, I’m coming home”

I remember those! I had Orange and Dr. Pepper flavors.

Christina’s last blog post..I’m Waving At You. How About You Wave Back?

So if you haven’t yet started pretending that the pillow you’re kissing is Zac Efron, who is it now?

Stimey’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday: Future Astronaut

Too, too funny!

I just bought those at Christmas time too! For myself.

My daughters love them, too, and always try to steal them from me, to no avail.

I had to get some seperate ones for them, because these are MINE, AAAALLLLL MINE!!!

You’re so right on about the Dr. Pepper one being the best. I couldn’t agree more!

And, now I must go re-apply.

Mandy’s last blog post..How Piaku! came to be…

I am pretty sure we had Lip Smackers here. However I am not aware of them having them in soft drink flavours. That sounds weird. Aren’t you tempted to chomp on it?

theotherbear’s last blog post..Skip To My Loo

I totally saw those lip smackers in a store near me and it took everything I had not to buy them.

I mean, like , totally it did

Worker Mommy’s last blog post..Scrapbooking Hell

Oh I SO loved those huge tubes in the early 80’s. Those were the days! I remember my favorite was bubble gum.

Remember when they came with a string so you could wear them around your neck? So styling!

Irene’s last blog post..Great news!!!!

Yummy.
It’s a purchased that is appreciated by everyone you kiss.

Amy @ Memories and Musings of a Mommy’s last blog post..Caldwell Park

Lipsmackers! Junior high saw my lips glossed mightily with the stuff.
Bet the husband is happy about the delicious new look.

skiplovey’s last blog post..Back to my old time wasting ways

I am *so* 12 in my brain. I think we all are — the rest is just window dressing!

Doodaddy’s last blog post..Stop Screwing Up My Daughter

So, are we like going to go TP some houses this Saturday? Spray paint some street signs. Go to the skanky, country, po-dunk convenience store where they sell beer to minors?

It’ll be like totally awesome!

Cool beans!

Queen of Shake Shake’s last blog post..These are the Words. These are the Moments.

I used to get those little tins of kiwi strawberry lip gloss at Spencers Gifts. The gold ones had the lid that slid off to the side? remember those? anyone?

Mama DB’s last blog post..As lovely as a tree

Love this! JC Penny’s has the whole collection including Shasta, Root Beer, Dr Pepper and even some new favorites. About 10 tubes of 80’s reminiscent lip flavored smackiness for about $9.00.
You need to get yourself hither and SMACK!

Rachel’s last blog post..Labeling love.

Zitty, sassy, tons of lip gloss? Did we date in high school?

Bill’s last blog post..I Gotta Have Faith And Mop Handles, But Mostly Faith

Hey Jennifer, I did the Friday Haiku. Will you add it to the list tomorrow for me? I might not get online at all. Thanks.

Here’s the link: http://phoenixsaysstuff.blogspot.com/2008/01/friday-haiku.html

Phoenix’s last blog post..Friday Haiku

I remember when Lip Smackers came in those fat tubes. And I remember Maybelline Roll-On lipgloss, do you? If there’s a Claire’s in a mall near you, they sell all kinds of flavors of lip gloss, like candy bar and soda flavors. Yum!

Elizabeth’s last blog post..Oooh, do I love Cashmere Mafia!

I must admit. I love lipsmackers.

*hides head in shame*

Sarcastic Mom’s last blog post..Just for a moment.

I used to pretend my pillow was Ashley Tisdale until she ruined her nose.

Whit’s last blog post..I Smell Sex & Candy

I love Lip Smackers. They are yummy!!

“Am I going to start playing High School Musical on a loop and pretending that the pillow that I’m kissing is Zac Efron? ”
I don’t get it?? There’s nothing wrong with that, is there??

Kelly’s last blog post.. TT # 15 - 13 Blogs I love and WHY I love them

My aunt gets me lip smackers every year at Christmas….This year Dr. Pepper, Peppermint Pattie, and Orange Crush. She still thinks of me as a tween, I guess. But God love her, she knows I love them.

justmylife’s last blog post..USB cords, cats and other nonsense….

Dr. Pepper, to this day, is my go to lip balm.

jackie’s last blog post..My Gift to You

I’ve always been a Dr. Pepper lip smacker fan, but I bought a buttload (technical term) of them recently, and I’m totally in love with the A&W Root Beer, Cherry 7UP, and Cookie Dough Flavors.

Type (little) a’s last blog post..Who knows how to kill a joke? US!!

I used to have an obsessive collection of these. And some of the big ones, too.

Ah, the good ‘ol days!

VDog’s last blog post..Haiku Update

Oh, man.

If I had that many awesome lip flavors I would never leave the house. I’d spend the whole day making out with my makeup bag.

Loralee’s last blog post..Still not there!

I win because I got them for 48 cents here! Yes, I did. Never mind that I barely got to use them before my son, the lip smacker lover he is, ran off with them, but at least I can smell the coca-cola on him.

Andria’s last blog post..Where Are You Mary Poppins?

My lips are always chapped (thanks, ridiculous Canadian weather!) I can’t buy LipSmackers because I’ll just lick them off my lips and that will make the problem even worse.

andi’s last blog post..Mothers unite to defeat HOB

I heart Zac but my lust lies with Corbon.

[...] Mentha Lip Tint (I’ve already talked about my love of these), 2 tubes of Lip Smackers (flashback: 1987), 3 packages of peanut butter crackers, a USB cord, 100 calorie pack of Lorna Doone cookies [...]
