“This is just begging to be used in a story!!” I groaned to myself. “Why can’t I get any inspiration???”

Today, I learned something. I learned that there exists a product with no discernible addictive substance within, but supposedly gets people addicted from the first use.

It’s called carmex. Apparently it’s well known, though I’ve never heard of it. That’s probably because it’s warm down here so people don’t use lip balm as much. Either way, it’s an interesting thing.

I’m fascinated enough by this phenomenon to attempt to try it myself, even though it’s hard enough to get myself to even wear lip gloss!

Then again, maybe I shouldn’t, I don’t need any more addictions. Thankfully the ones I have now can all be solved by pressing a button.
