I have chap lips so I use Blistex. The same lip balm I use when I get a cold sore. There is a warning to use only as directed and to keep out of children's reach. It is within a child's reach on the shelf in the store. What if it is in my pocket? A kid could easily obtain it there. The pocket is totally reachable. Do I have to buy a hat with a pocket in it? Or must I walk with it balled in my hand and extended over my head?
There is a warning to use only as directed. But, there aren't any directions. My lips are chapped and directionless. Like a teenage cowboy… on a pale face they ride. Like I said, there are no directions on the Blistex. There is, however, a list of three active ingredients, and seven inactive ingredients. Inactive ingredients? Why all the inactivity in my lip balm? I didn't know that ingredients went on strike. Are they walking around with picket signs and chanting, "We hope your lips crack and bleed…Hope you get more herpes sores." What if other ingredients crossed the lip line to take their old jobs...What would they call the traitors? They wouldn't call them scabs, because by striking they would be hoping the lip would have scabs.
Three active ingredients...Seven inactive...I never realized blister-soothing chemicals are a lot like our society...30% of the population doing 70% of the work.... I'm glad they print the inactive ones on there though...They deserve to be exposed for the lazy asses they are. 'Get it together. You went to blister enforcement school to get rid of blisters, and you waste your whole day sitting on the lip playing the Tetris game on your cell phone...Get off your lazy ass and sooth those lips!'
I just can't believe there are ingredients that are supposed to be part of the blister task force that have been deemed inactive.... To identify them they should have to wear a #19 jersey and go by the name of Keyshawn...They'd probably complain all day...."We've been applied to the lips three times today and I only got to touch the cold sore once! Just put me on the damn blister!"...At this point they are put on the inactive list and wind up in the broadcast booth offering commentary on the Sunday Blister healing of the week. I think it is these same ingredients who are refusing to write the directions. My lips are burning. Damn you, you inactive, sloth like, ingredients.
