Lip balm has evolved a lot over the years — in good and not so good ways. We love all the awesome tinted options, and the fact that we can choose between squeeze tubes, sticks, and pots, but when it comes to the flavors, it's a grab bag. It's like, ever since brands realized there were flavors besides cherry, they went wild — often a little too wild.
We love citrus, vanilla, mint, and, heck, we'll even take bubblegum, but pickle? That's just wrong — and we love pickles. But that's just the tip of the weird-flavor iceberg.
Ahead, we round up the strangest lip balm flavors we've come across. Prepare to be equal parts grossed-out and curious.
Let's get off to a greasy start: double-cheeseburger balm — for the person who wants lips that smell meaty, cheesy, and oniony. Mmm.
