Did We Really Need This?

I remember reading once upon a time the folks at Jell-O toyed with the idea of celery flavored gelatin. It didn't go over so well. There have been countless celebrities who thought the sweat of their armpits would make a great perfume. And then there are some ideas that are just wrong, really wrong. Like Cheetos flavored lip balm.

Thinking about them now, I keep picturing that pungent cheesey scent, the styrofoam-like texture, and the way the orange "cheese" rubbed off on your fingers and mouth and stained them for what felt like forever, even after you licked them off. Is this the type of product you'd like to hydrate your lips with? Hardly.

I wonder if there would be a market for Eagle Brand Milk lip balm or  Dill Pickle. I know leave the million dollar ideas to the millionaires. You read more about why your kids lips are orange.
