French Fry Lip Balm
If you’re like us, the holiday desserts are way too tempting this time of year. We could eat countless slices of pumpkin and sweet potato pie. Although it seems like sweets are lurking around every corner you turn this time of year, we still get cravings for our old fast-food standbys, especially French fries.
Enter: the French fry lip balm. Hiding in the tube are 0.16 ounces of fry-smelling goodness without the guilt. Yum!
For $2.99 (or roughly the cost of actual fries), you can have hours of fast-food-esque enjoyment.
