This weird-tasting lip balm has a dill flavor. Available from Walmart, the pickle chap stick was made by Accoutrements. This lets wearers keep their lips moisturized while tasting a hint of dill pickle at the same time. Made in the United States, the hydrating cosmetic is allegedly inspired by people in the old days rubbing pickles on their puckers when dryness occurred.
While flavored lip balms are hardly a new concept, with many opting for fruity, sweet or dessert-themed flavors, this far-reaching product is certainly strange but also an intriguing option. This would speak to consumers who prefer novelty items as well as those who simply adore the dill flavor. The chap stick will likely have a divisive effect on people, as pickles are.
