Known for their unusual flavors, Lip Smacker is still at it, offering a sweet potato fries lip balm flavor. The "best flavor forever" company offers the alternative side dish-themed lip product in addition to their many other food-inspired offerings. The hydrating lip chap also has the benefit of being made in the United States of America.
Even though flavored lip products are not a new idea, this french fry lip balm flavor is very unusual, yet intriguing. Just like the sweet potato's somewhat recent surge in popularity, this lip-moisturizing cosmetic could pique the interest of many consumers. The savory taste also differentiates the item from other sweeter options available, that most customers would flock to.
