Annalizing

I currently own 34, that's right 34 chapsticks in my possession at this very moment. Ever scince first grade when I went do the doctor and it was declared that I had insanely dry lips, and prescribed a special chapstick, I have kept a chapstick in my pocket with me at all times every single day since then, for 14 years, over 5000 days, or 70% of my life. Considering I go through an average of about 1 tube a week, throughout time, I've gone through at the very least 750 tubes over the years, and I'm pretty sure about half of the ones I've had have made it through the washer, or I didn't like the flavor/color and I gave to my sister. I think that it's pretty safe to say I've owned at least a thousand chapsticks. Added all up, if you consider that when I was in first grade they were $1 each and now they are at about $2 each, we'll average at 1.50 each that addds up to be over 1.5 thousand dollars!!! That's a whole semester of tuition right there all spent in chapsticks!!!! I am however extremely picky about which kind I use, it has to be Lip Smackers brand, and it has to be a good flavor and color, I can't stand lip glosses, and I hate the kind with sunscreen in it because it looses it's consistency, and mentholatum? hate it, sometimes even the Jello or starburst or skittles flavors are just to watery and I have to apply even more often. Some flavors I have or have had include:

Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Banana, Cotton Candy, Strawberry, Watermelon, Red Raspberry, Bubble Gum, Vanilla, Stellar Strawberry, Gumball Gal, Party Berry, Berry Heavenly, Strawberry Kiwi Comet, Lip Sync Licorice, Marshmallow, Planetary Berry, Orange Sherbert, Mint Chocolate, Lime Light, Grape Crush, Cherry 7up, A&W Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, 7-up, Strawberry Scoop, Banana Split, Vanilla Dream, Bubble Gum Whip, Cookie Dough, Berry Sundae, Vanilla Frosting, Raspberries 'n cream, Whipped Cream, Berries 'n cream, strawberries 'n cream, cookies 'n cream, bubblegum vanilla, Raspberry Jello, Strawberry Watermelon Skittles, Mango Melon Skittles, Mango, Blue Raspberry Slush, Sprinkles, Watermelon Cherry Koolaid, Smooth Vanilla, Eclair Jelly Thumbprint, Cupcakes vanilla Sprinkle, Pearberry, Pink Lemonade, Root Beer Float, Blueberry, Cherry, Orange Pop, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Cheescake, Wild Raspberry, 2000 Cookies, Berry Jelly Doughnut, Kiwi, Tropical Punch, Lunar Lime, Stellar Strawberry, Gum Ball Galaxy, Planetary Berry, Berry Heavenly, Mint Choco Ship, Red Licorice Launch, Martian Mallow, Magical Melon, Mystical Berry, Blueberries 'n Cream, Cherry Vanilla, Strawberry Watermelon, Triple Berry, Bubblegum Vanilla, Pineapple Kiwi, Raspberry Peach, Strawberry Stars, Sparkling White Grape, Melon Moon, Berry Lights, Strawberry Kiwi Kiss, S'More Cupcake Hugs, Sweet Dreams, Snuggly Starberry, Artic's Vanilla Smooch, Sugar 'n spice, Berry Hopeful, Vanilla Wishes, Share a Strawberry, Sweet Cotton Candy Cane, Melon Memories, Sugared Plum Dream, Berry Strawberry Twist, Watermelon Whirl, Strawberry Splash, Vanilla Berry Heaven, Cherry Vanilla Flash, Raspberry Grape Swirl, Bakery Berry Pie, Spun Sugar Cotton Candy, Vanilla Whipped Cocoa, Homeade Strawberry Ice Cream, Hand Dipped Sugar Plum, Sugared Spice Cookie, Berry Ribbon Candy, Pink Sugar Cookie, Artic's Candy Cane Cocoa, Strawberry's Slush, Moose's White Choco Cream, Sugar's Plum, Cupcake's Nilla Mint, and Sweet Cinnamon Ice Cream.

Whew!!!! do you think that's enough??? Nope, I know there are zillions more that I left out and forgotten, and I probably even said twice. There is a quiz at www.smackers.com To see if you're collection crazed as well.

The day you will see me without one is a day that I must die, I honestly cannot live 5-10 minutes without reapplying, I've even owned a few of the really really big ones that are about 5 times the size of the regulars. If you ever need to borrow some, don't ask me if I have any, just tell me what flavor.
